Regular Meeting Minutes ofDecember 11,2012Page 4 of913. Resolution No. 33908-12 - Amending The <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Municipal</strong> <strong>Utility</strong> <strong>District</strong> 401 (a)Tax Deferred Savings Plan To Make Changes Effective January :, 2013.DETERMINATION AND DISCUSSION14. Accept the <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> Community Choice Aggregation Preliminary Analysis andProvide Direction to <strong>Staff</strong> on Next Steps.Director of Operations and Maintenance Michael J. Wallis presented highlights from the <strong>East</strong><strong>Bay</strong> Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) Preliminary Analysis report. He said that thereport summarizes studies and reports completed by the <strong>District</strong> and other cities and agenciesthat have evaluated CCAs, and describes the potential barriers, benefits, risks, costs, interestlevels and institutional issues for the <strong>District</strong> associated with participation in an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong>CCA.Mr. Wallis said the report describes two institutional models for an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA:1) forming a separate electric utility and 2) forming a Joint Powers Authority (JPA). Thepreliminary review of CCAs indicates that forming an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA may be within the<strong>District</strong>'s authority under the California <strong>Municipal</strong> <strong>Utility</strong> <strong>District</strong> (MUD) Act. However,start-up costs are estimated at $1.6-$3.2 million with $12-20 million as required workingcapital.The benefits include furthering the <strong>District</strong>'s greenhouse gas emission reduction goals andsupporting the <strong>District</strong>'s policies related to water conservation and use of renewable energy.Since the <strong>District</strong> has developed expertise in renewable power generation over severaldecades, another potential benefit is building on this foundation. The <strong>District</strong> can alsoleverage its expertise in other aspects of utility management, such as customer service, riskmanagement, and public outreach.It was noted that a key risk is that the <strong>District</strong> does not have experience in providing utilityservices in a competitive marketplace and a market environment presents new risks thatrequire further study. The report presumes that an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA would rely heavily oncontracted expertise for startup and operations. Another important risk element is thepotential fiscal impact of a CCA on the <strong>District</strong>. This aspect also would require carefulstudy. At the present time the <strong>District</strong> is facing increasing demands on resources forinfrastructure maintenance and water sales are projected to remain lower than historicalaverages for the next several years.Mr. Wallis went to say that if the <strong>District</strong> pursues further study o:f an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA, it wouldbe essential for staff to have clear direction on the goals and objectives of the <strong>District</strong>'sinvolvement. Prior to initiating discussions with interested cities the <strong>District</strong> would need todevelop a set of principles to guide staff in further research and potential negotiations. The<strong>District</strong> would also expect its resource investments of staff time and research funding to bemet with similar levels of investment by all parties interested in evaluating the governancemodels, customer benefits, costs and level of interest, and financing alternatives. A joint


Regular Meeting Minutes ofDecember 11, 2012Page 5 of9effort among the interested parties could be accomplished under a Memorandum ofUnderstanding with each party contributing to the costs and resources. The study cost couldinclude hiring a consultant to folly analyze the governance models and the cost of forming aCCA, to quantify the potential liability of operating a CCA, and to assist in communityoutreach and market assessment. Similar efforts by other agenc.es have cost $250 000 to$500,000.President Coleman opened the meeting to public comment on the CCA analysis.- Addressing the Board were the following persons: 1) Dan Kalb ; Councilmember-Elect,City of Oakland, urged the Board to move forward on the feasib ility study of an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong>CCA; 2) Linda Maio, Vice-Mayor, City of Berkeley, commented that the city would like tobe in partnership on an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA; 3) Gordon Wozniak, Berkeley City Council, urgedthe Board to move forward on forming an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA and noted that his preference forthe JPA model; 4) Paul Junge (Young), Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce,urged the Board to avoid the risk of a CCA and focus on providing quality water andwastewater services; 5) Gregory McConnell, Jobs and Housing Coalition, commented thatEBMUD should focus on its core mission of providing water and wastewater services andsaid that any CCA model would involve substantial risks; 6) Jose Duenas, CEO, AlamedaCounty Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, urged the Board to focus on providing qualitywater and wastewater services and not to spend any more money on studying an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong>CCA; 7) Greg Lamberg, commented that a CCA would be costl> and add another layer ofgeneration; 8) Wil Hardee, Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce, commentedthat a CCA is too risky and said that EBMUD should use its resources to increase itssupplier diversity and water conservation efforts; 9) Dat Nguyen. Vietnamese Chamber ofCommerce, said his organization did not support the increased cost for a CCA butencouraged EBMUD to help the business community; 10) Mr. Kim Huggett, HaywardChamber of Commerce, urged the Board to focus on providing quality water andwastewater services and not to spend any more money on studying an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA; 11)Bob Canter, Emeryville Chamber of Commerce, commented thai the benefits of any CCAmodel were modest and he did not support further study; 12) Ma:thew Rinn, President,Pleasant Hill Chamber of Commerce, commented that EBMUD should use its resources inthe community, expressed concern about higher rates, and urged the Board halt furtherstudy of an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA; 13) Antonio Martinez, President, IFPTE Local 21, commentedthat the costs for a CCA were too high and the benefits too low; 14) Carl Chan, ChinatownChamber of Commerce, commented that an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA was too costly and risky andurged the Board not to spend any more money on studies; 15) Ruben Rodriguez, President,AFSCME Local 444, expressed concern about the costs to customers for an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA;16) Thomas Kelly, Community Choice Energy Work Group, Berkeley Climate ActionCoalition, urged the Board to move forward on an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA; 17) Cynthia Wooten,LEAN Energy U.S., urged the Board to proceed with studying the formation of an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong>CCA and commented that an electric utility model would benefit the <strong>District</strong>; 18) ObrayVan Buren, Local 342-Plumbers & Steamfitters, commented that the high cost of an <strong>East</strong><strong>Bay</strong> CCA would impact low income customers and the <strong>District</strong> should invest in its staff;

There wasgeneral consensus that the <strong>District</strong> has been a good environmental steward over the yearsand provides high quality water and wastewater treatment services. President Colemanpointed out that the <strong>District</strong> has spent over $1 million over the past ten years studying thisissue. He expressed concern about the <strong>District</strong>'s fiscal health, credit rating and reserves ifit ventured into community choice aggregation. President Coleman said he was not infavor of moving forward with additional study of an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA.Director Katz said the he could support a JPA model but suggested that cities come up withstart up costs and develop a proposal on administration of the CCA. Director Mellon saidhe was not supportive of a JPA model because it offered no benefit to the <strong>District</strong>. He saidhe did not recommend any further study of an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA. Director Mclntoshsuggested that staff continue participating in meetings with local agencies on CCA but notbe the driving force. Director Linney recommended continuing discussions on the JPAmodel. Director Patterson expressed concern about the costs for a CCA and the relativelylow return for the <strong>District</strong>. Director Foulkes also expressed concern about the costs of aCCA and said she was not in favor of spending any more on studies. She recommendedthat the communities who are interested in an <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> CCA pay for the study.After considerable discussion, the following recommendations were proposed: 1) Revisitand strengthen Policy 7.07, Renewable Energy, which focuses on developing renewableenergy projects as part of the <strong>District</strong>'s ongoing infrastructure mmagement effort, andupdate its goals and objectives as appropriate; 2) Discontinue further exploration of a<strong>District</strong> led electric utility as a CCA model; and 3) Further studios on exploring a JointPowers Authority (JPA) as a CCA model must be funded by the cities and will not befunded by the <strong>District</strong>. However, staff is authorized to attend meetings and participate indiscussions regarding a city funded regional CCA JPA, and provide updates to the Board aswarranted.

AGENDA NO.MEETING DATE January 8, 2013TITLEPURCHASE OF INFLUENT SCREENS EQUIPMENTEMOTION • RESOLUTION • ORDINANCERECOMMENDED ACTIONAward a contract to the lowest responsible/responsive bidder, Duperon Corporation, in the estimated totalamount of $1,526,850 for supplying five sets of influent bar screens and washer compactors for the MainWastewater Treatment Plant (MWWTP) under Proposal No. 1306.SUMMARYThe new influent bar screens and washer compactors will replace the existing %-inch climber screens atthe MWWTP Influent Pump Station. The new influent bar screens will have VJ-inch spacing which willsignificantly improve the removal of debris from the wastewater. Debris removal at the headworks iscritical to protect downstream process equipment and increase the reliability and usable capacity of thedigesters.DISCUSSIONThe existing %-inch climber screens allow excess debris such as rags, hair and other fibrous materials toescape downstream to the primary sedimentation tanks, and eventually collect in the digesters. Thisfibrous debris often forms a stringy solid mass, which causes plugging of pumps, heat exchangers, andgrinders. Within the last decade, new developments in screening technology have influenced otherwastewater agencies to replace their screens with finer-spaced screens with ^-inch spacing. Furthermore,as part of the ongoing digester upgrade project, the sludge withdrawal system i s being modified to apassive overflow system that will allow each digester to use its maximum capacity. Finer-spaced barscreens will reduce the potential for plugging issues in the new passive digester overflow system.The scope of work for this project involves replacing the existing %-inch climber screens with new %-inchbar screens and washer compactors. The %-inch spacing allows more debris to be captured and removed atthe headworks, protecting downstream equipment and processes. The new bar screens will also reduceequipment maintenance and the frequency of digester cleaning. The payback for this capital project isapproximately 7 to 8 years.Funds Available: FY13Budget Code:WWC/927/7999/2008216/5301DEPARTMENT SUBMITTING DEPARTMENT MANAGER or DIRECTOR APPROVEDWASTEWATERDavid R.

Purchase of Influent Screens EquipmentJanuary 8, 2013Page 2Two bar screens will be replaced in 2013 and three will be replaced in 2014, for a total of five screens.The contract contains a price escalation clause for the purchase of the three bar screens in 2014 that isbased on the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Producer Price Index for Metal andMetal Products for December 2012.A separate construction contract for the installation of the new bar screens is being developed, and staffwill recommend award of the installation contract by the Board in April 2013. Due to the long-lead timefor manufacturing and delivery of this equipment (-22 weeks), pre-purchase of this equipment is requiredin order to complete the first two screen installations in 2013 before the onset of the next wet weatherseason, ha addition, equipment pre-purchase will reduce the screen cost to the <strong>District</strong>.SERVICE PROVIDER/CONSULTANT/VENDOR SELECTIONRequests for proposals were sent to three (3) potential proposers and advertised on the <strong>District</strong>'s website.One (1) bid was received. Although only one bid was received, Duperon Corporation provided a very fanbidprice for their equipment based on a comparison of previous sales for their product of similar size andcapacity, hi addition, the bid price by Duperon Corporation was below their initial quotation to the <strong>District</strong>and other competitive manufacturers for the influent bar screens and washer compactors. The engineer'sestimate for the equipment was $1.74 million.CONTRACT EQUITY PROGRAM EFFORTSThe completed P-035 and P-061 forms are attached.FISCAL IMPACTFunds are available for this purchase in the FY13/14 capital budget in the Main Wastewater TreatmentPlant Influent Screen Replacement Project.ALTERNATIVESDo not purchase the influent screens equipment. This alternative is not recommended because pluggingof the digester passive overflow system causes digesters to be out of service. Providing more effectivescreening capture increases digester reliability, reduces equipment maintenance costs, reduces thefrequency for digester cleaning, and increases usable digester capacity.Reject all bids and re-bid. This alternative is not recommended because although one bid was received,the bid is reasonable based on a comparison of previous sales and the engineer's estimate, and is withinthe project budget.AttachmentsW:\NAB\Board Documents\2013\BDlsVTanuary 8\WW - Prepurchase Influent Screens.doc

The PSL Ordinance was implemented January 1, 2011 and requires that propertyowners perform inspections, and if necessary, repairs or replacements, of their sewer laterals, prior toselling their property, obtaining construction permits for the property greater that $100,000, or applyingfor changes to EBMUD water service. The <strong>District</strong> is responsible for witnessing and documenting sewerlateral inspections and issuing certificates of compliance. In order to meet this responsibility, the <strong>District</strong>contracted with DesignMind Business Solutions to construct the PSL Application software.The PSL Application Enhancements are a collection of critical extensions to the PSL Application thatcould not be included in the initial application due to scheduling constraints imposed on the <strong>District</strong> by theEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA).DISCUSSIONThe goals of the PSL Application Enhancements are to improve the efficiency, productivity andcompliance of the EPA- mandated PSL Program. Improvements include provisions for:• Repeat inspections to facilitate tracking and fee charging for multiple trips to a site• Scheduling, including the ability to upload standardized inspection periods and other efficiencies• Mapping to facilitate geographic optimization of inspections and more efficiently utilize field staffFunds Available FY13Budget Code: WWC/944/7999/2002085/5231DEPARTMENT SUBMITTINGDEPARTMENT MANAGER or DIRECTORAPPROVEDINFORMATION SYSTEMSNicholas J.

DesignMindBusiness Solutions acquired the requisite business and application knowledge when it completed thedesign and development of the initial version of the PSL Application. DesijjnMind Business Solutionsbuilt the existing application, has in-depth knowledge of the application and our PSL-related businessprocess, and is therefore uniquely qualified to perform this work.CONTRACT EQUITY PROGRAMThe completed P-35 and P-61 forms are attached.FISCAL IMPACT.Sufficient funds are available in the Wastewater FY13 capital budget to complete the planned work.UNION NOTIFICATIONLocals 2019 and 21 were notified of this contract on January 12, 2012. Locals 2019 and 21 did not raiseany specific issues related to this contract.ALTERNATIVESDelay or Do Not Proceed with the Project. This alternative is not recomm ended, because the PSLApplication Enhancements represent a collection of extensions to the existing application whose absenceis making it difficult for the <strong>District</strong> to cost-effectively comply with EPA requirements. Appointmentscheduling and enforcement are currently supported by manual processing which is not sustainable givengrowth in the PSL Program and associated workload. In addition, staff is currently negotiating a longterm consent decree that will have more robust reporting requirements that can not be met without theseupgrades.Perform the Work with <strong>District</strong> Forces. This alternative is not recommended due to the fact thatsoftware development resources are committed to other priority projects, such as the new HR and MMISsystems.

Sprint Solutions and Verizon Wireless responded to the original RFP and weredeemed responsive and qualified. Due to changes in Sprint's cellular network, ihe service performance isno longer meeting the <strong>District</strong>'s communication needs and flexibility is needed :o transition to VerizonWireless. This service provider change will not affect the estimated amount of $320,000 per yearidentified in the original motion.EVALUATIONPublic Contract Code, Section 10298, specifically allows agencies to purchase directly from the statecompetitively awarded contracts without pursuing separate competitive bidding This provides a typicalsavings of 10-15% over pricing the <strong>District</strong> would get if bidding alone.

EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT7.DATE: January 3, 2013MEMO TO:Board of DirectorsTHROUGH: Alexander R. Coate, General Managerrft^'FROM:Marlaigne Dumaine, Manager of Legislative AffairsSUBJECT: Federal Legislative Initiatives for 2013OVERVIEWThe 113 th Congress convenes this month amidst a challenging political environment stemming fromthe continued need to address federal spending. In addition to the fiscal issues, congress' domesticpolicy agenda is likely to be comprised of issues of interest to EBMUD, including infrastructure andthe Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.Infrastructure assistance will continue to be a key policy issue and congress is expected to continue toexplore ways to allocate limited resources for infrastructure funding. The house and senateinfrastructure committees have expressed interest in proposals to promote low interest loans,infrastructure banks, public-private partnerships, and other more traditional financing mechanisms.Congress may also review the issue of local and state tax-exempt financing as part of any tax reformefforts.Congressional efforts to reauthorize the Water Resources Development Act (V/RDA) are likely to gainmomentum during 2013. Congressional leaders have been canvassing members to ascertain the valueof earmarks with a particular emphasis on WRDA. The Senate Committee on Environment and PublicWorks held a hearing on a draft WRDA bill in late 2012, however, the legislation did not advance priorto the end of the session. Senator Barbara Boxer has identified WRDA as a top priority for 2013. TheHouse Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, with its new Chairman Bill Shuster (R-PA),has also signaled that WRDA is a priority. Accordingly, WRDA legislation is expected to be broughtforth in this congressional session. A new WRDA is anticipated to be policy-oriented as opposed to thetraditional focus on project authorizations. However, it will be important to advance EBMUD's projectauthorization needs to the extent feasible.With regard to securing appropriations for projects with existing WRDA authorizations, including"new starts," the climate in 2013 will continue to be austere. House and senate rules continue to denyproject earmarks. However, there are some indications these rules may be revisited in 2013. It isimportant that EBMUD continue to advance its project appropriation requests to ensure EBMUD'sneeds are communicated to its congressional delegation in the event the earmark rules are revised in amanner that allows for project funding.On the policy front, issues of interest to EBMUD continue to be primarily focused on matters relatingto the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, including funding, mitigation, and water supply.


Board of DirectorsFederal Legislative Initiatives for 2013January 3, 2013Page 2EBMUD's 2013 federal legislative initiatives have been developed consistent with the past year'sgoals and objectives with the understanding that congress and the administration are operating in aconstrained fiscal environment. EBMUD's 2013 federal legislative initiatives are focused on items ofhighest priority for EBMUD: infrastructure funding; fiscal year 2014 (FY14) project appropriations,WRDA project authorization requests, and advancing EBMUD's interests within the key policy area ofthe Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. These four EBMUD 2013 federal initiatives are summarized in thetable below and described in detail in the attachment.FEDERAL INITIATIVE1. Seek federal funding opportunities forinfrastructure projects via any new federalprograms which may be developed and anyexisting programs.2. Continue to seek federal funding forEBMUD's three WRDA authorized projects- the San Ramon Valley Recycled WaterProject, the Integrated Regional RecycledWater Program, and the <strong>Bay</strong> Area RegionalDesalination Project.3. Continue to pursue new WRDA fundingauthorizations for EBMUD's seismicprogram and the San Ramon ValleyRecycled Water Project.4. Advance EBMUD's <strong>Bay</strong> Delta needswith its federal delegation.ACTION• Seek any available federal funding opportunities forEBMUD's infrastructure projects consistent with the <strong>District</strong>'scurrent Capital Improvement Program.• Pursue FY14 federal funding appropriations of $450,000, $5million, and $4 million for the; San Ramon Valley RecycledWater Project, the Integrated Recycled Water Program, andthe <strong>Bay</strong> Area Regional Desalination Project, respectively.• Pursue new WRDA funding authorizations in the amounts of$35 million for EBMUD's seismic program and $20 millionfor the San Ramon Valley Water Recycling Project.<strong>Staff</strong> will focus on EBMUD's priority issues:• EBMUD's ratepayers should not be held responsible for theflow obligations, project mitigations, or the expected habitatrestoration success of others, including the state and federalprojects.• EBMUD's ratepayers should not be asked to pay for costs thatare the responsibility of others, or for any user fee orsurcharge that subsidizes other parties.• Any solution that would impact the Mokelumne salmonidfishery should include mitigat.on by the responsible parties forthe impacts.Attachment


AttachmentFEDERAL INITIATIVES - 2013INTIATIVE #1 -SEEK FEDERAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FORINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSBackgroundThe 113 th Congress is expected to focus in large part on infrastructure assistance policy as membersconsider how to support and spur economic growth. Congress is expected to convene hearings on thepriority of water infrastructure with particular attention given to the role of private sector fundingassistance and the use of tax-exempt funding tools. In addition, the conventional funding of the StateRevolving Loan Fund Program, as well as how it would be impacted by private sector assistance,Water Infrastructure Financing Innovation Act assistance, infrastructure bankf), or other innovativefinancing approaches, is anticipated to be part of the larger congressional debate on how waterinfrastructure needs should be addressed.<strong>Staff</strong> will work with EBMUD's delegation, appropriate committee staff, and tie administration toadvance EBMUD's infrastructure funding needs.Recommended ActionSeek any available federal funding opportunities for EBMUD's infrastructure projects consistent withEBMUD's Capital Improvement Program priorities.INTIATIVE #2 -PURSUE FISCAL YEAR 2014 (FY14) FEDERAL FUNDINGAPPROPRIATIONS FOR EBMUD'S SAN RAMON VALLEYRECYCLED WATER PROJECT, EBMUD'S INTEGRATED REGIONALRECYCLED WATER PROGRAM, AND THE BAY AREA REGIONALDESALINATION PROJECTBackgroundIn 2012, EBMUD sought FY13 federal funding appropriations for the San Ramon Valley RecycledWater Project, the Integrated Recycled Water Program, and the <strong>Bay</strong> Area Regional DesalinationProject. However, a combination of federal budget constraints and a congressional ban on projectearmarks rendered each of these requests unsuccessful. Though the likelihood of receiving projectspecificFY14 appropriations remains low, staff will continue to pursue appro] )riations for each ofthese projects as described below. The projects are presented in order of priority, from the highest tothe lowest.San Ramon Valley Recycled Water ProjectThe San Ramon Valley Recycled Water Project is estimated to provide approximately 6,400 acre-feetof recycled water per year for irrigation uses within the San Ramon Valley. Total joint project costs forthe participating agencies (EBMUD and Dublin San Ramon Services <strong>District</strong>) are estimated to be morethan $150 million.


In 1999, the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) provided congressional authorization for$15 million in federal funding toward planning, design, and construction assistance by the U.S. Corpsof Engineers for the San Ramon Valley Recycled Water Project. The total appropriations for thisproject to date have nearly exhausted the authorized funding level with approximately $450,000remaining in this initial $15 million authorization. Project appropriations totaling approximately $14.5million were granted from FY02 through FY10 for planning, design, and construction activities.Despite the austere federal funding climate, staff will continue to pursue the remaining $450,000 in theexisting WRDA authorization for this project. This funding will be used toward the construction ofpipelines that are part of Phases 2, 3, and 4 of the project. <strong>Staff</strong> will simultaneously pursue a newWRDA funding authorization for this project in the amount of $20 million, as discussed underInitiative #2.Integrated Recycled Water ProgramThe 2008 enactment of WRDA provided a $25 million funding authorization for the IntegratedRegional Recycled Water Program project. An appropriation for this project has not yet been secured.Because this project is considered by congress to be a "new start," it means that funding opportunitieswill hinge on how congress and the administration address new water infrastructure priorities.EBMUD staff will continue to pursue initial funding for the Integrated Regional Recycled WaterProgram in the amount of $5 million as an FY14 appropriations request. Funding for this project willbe used for the design and construction of Phase IB of the <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong>shore Recycled Water Project. Thisproject could ultimately supply up to approximately 2.5 million gallons per day of recycled water,which includes replacing the use of potable water in portions of Alameda, Oakland, Emeryville,Berkeley, and Albany.<strong>Bay</strong> Area Regional Desalination ProjectThe <strong>Bay</strong> Area's largest water agencies, the Contra Costa Water <strong>District</strong>, the <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Municipal</strong> <strong>Utility</strong><strong>District</strong>, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, the Santa Clara Valley Water <strong>District</strong> and theAlameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation <strong>District</strong> - Zone 7, arc jointly exploring thedevelopment of regional desalination facilities that would benefit over 5.6 million <strong>Bay</strong> Area residentsand businesses served by these agencies. The <strong>Bay</strong> Area Regional Desalination Project would consist ofone or more facilities, with an estimated capacity range of 10 to 50 million gallons per day, enoughwater to serve 100,000 to 500,000 people. This project would provide a local water source and increasewater supply reliability during emergencies, such as droughts and earthquakes, without increasing theregion's reliance on Delta tributaries and would present an opportunity to develop a highlycollaborative approach to leverage funding at the federal level.The existing authorization for regional desalination is $4 million. Due to its presence in Washington,D.C., EBMUD has agreed to represent the partner agencies in pursuing this authorization.Accordingly, EBMUD staff will continue to pursue $4 million on behalf of the project partners inFY14 funding for this project.


Recommended ActionPursue FY14 federal funding appropriations in order of priority: $450,000 for the San Ramon ValleyRecycled Water Project, $5 million for the Integrated Recycled Water Program, and $4 million for,the<strong>Bay</strong> Area Regional Desalination Project.INTIATIVE #3 -CONTINUE TO SEEK FUNDING AUTHORIZATIONS FOR TWOEBMUD WATER RESOURCES PROJECTS UNDER THE WRDAIn 2012, EBMUD staff provided WRDA funding authorization requests for three projects: (1) theRegional EBMUD Seismic Component Upgrade (RESCU) program to increase the seismic stability ofEBMUD's water distribution and raw water storage reservoirs; (2) interties between EBMUD'sMokelumne aqueducts; and (3) the San Ramon Valley Recycled Water Project. However, congress didnot finalize a WRDA package in 2012. The aqueduct intertie project is expected to be substantiallycompleted in 2013, therefore an FY14 authorization request for this project will not be appropriate.<strong>Staff</strong> will maintain the authorization requests for the RESCU program and the San Ramon ValleyRecycled Water Project for FY14, as described below.RESCUEBMUD's RESCU program recognizes the presence of several active earthquake faults that runthrough its service area in the <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> and on-going seismic risks in the Delta. This program isintended to increase the seismic stability of the water system, including water storage reservoirs,pipelines, and facilities to treat and pump water. This would help protect the proximate denselypopulated urban communities from flooding during a major earthquake and enhance EBMUD's watersupply reliability. Components of the RESCU program include:• Briones, Chabot, Upper San Leandro, and Lafayette Tower Seismic Upgrades;• Dam Seismic, Operational, Surveillance, and Instrumentation Upgrades;• West of Hills Pressure Zone Improvements; and• Mokelumne Aqueduct upgradesThe cost of the RESCU program is estimated to be $150 million or more. EBMUD's request for aninitial authorization is $35 million. This amount is consistent with prior federal authorizations forsimilar projects.San Ramon Valley Recycled Water ProjectWith the near exhaustion of the existing $15 million funding authorization for the San Ramon ValleyRecycled Water Project, staff will request an additional authorization in the amount of $20 million.Based on past authorization levels for similar projects, a request of $20 million is feasible. Thisfunding will be used for the design and construction of phases 3, 4, 5 and 6 distribution lines and twopump stations (Phases 3 and 4). The areas that will be served by these phases of the project are: SanRamon and Danville (Phase 3); Blackhawk (Phase 4); Blackhawk West (Phase 5); and Danvilleexpansion (Phase 6).


Recommended ActionContinue to work with EBMUD's congressional delegation to ensure continued support of EBMUD'sWRDA authorization requests for the RESCU program and the San Ramon Valley Recycled WaterProject.INITIATIVE #4 -ADVANCE EBMUD'S DELTA NEEDS WITH FEDERAL DELEGATIONThe appropriate federal response to the <strong>Bay</strong> Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) and the efforts to addressCalifornia water resources issues is likely to continue to be debated in congress. Over the past twoyears, EBMUD has worked with its congressional delegation and relevant stakeholders to ensure thatany Delta-related federal policy or legislation does not negatively impact EBMUD ratepayers.Congress will likely continue to focus on Delta-related issues in 2013 and may continue to work on afederal response to address water supply, water quality, and ecosystem protection needs. <strong>Staff</strong> willmonitor the development of Delta-related legislation and administration policies and work to ensurethat EBMUD's needs are effectively communicated.Recommended ActionsCommunicate and work with EBMUD's congressional delegation, the administration, and relevantcongressional committees on EBMUD's Delta needs and respond to any questions on how proposalsmay impact EBMUD. <strong>Staff</strong> will focus on EBMUD's priority issues:1. EBMUD's ratepayers should not be held responsible for the flow obligations, projectmitigations, or expected habitat restoration success of others, including the state and federalprojects.2. EBMUD's ratepayers should not be asked pay for costs that are the responsibility of others, orfor any user fee or surcharge that subsidizes other parties.3. Any solution that would impact the Mokelumne salmonid fishery should include mitigation bythe responsible parties for the impacts.ARC:MD:JF

At the time of theinitial execution and delivery of the Indenture in 1990, the Indenture did not preclude the <strong>District</strong> fromissuing additional Senior Water Bonds pursuant to the Senior Water Bond Resolution. The <strong>District</strong> lastissued Senior Water Bonds in 1986 and all outstanding Senior Water Bonds were retired in 1997. Thereare currently no Senior Water Bonds outstanding. Pursuant to the Eighteenth SupplementalIndenture, the <strong>District</strong> has covenanted and agreed that it will not issue any Senior Water Bonds inthe future pursuant to the Senior Water Bond Resolution.Outstanding Water System Revenue Bonds and Parity Debt. As of January 15, 2013, the<strong>District</strong> had Outstanding $2,244,535,000 aggregate principal amount of Water System Revenue Bonds,including the Series 2009A-2 Bonds (collectively, the “Outstanding Water System Revenue Bonds”),issued under and pursuant to the Indenture. See APPENDIX A – “THE EAST BAY MUNICIPALUTILITY DISTRICT (THE WATER SYSTEM) – WATER SYSTEM FINANCES – Outstanding Debt.”See also “PLAN OF FINANCE – Additional Financings Being Undertaken by the <strong>District</strong>.”Approximately $446,255,000 principal amount of the <strong>District</strong>’s Outstanding Water SystemRevenue Bonds are variable rate obligations which are subject to tender prior to maturity in accordancewith their terms. As described herein, in connection with the Outstanding Series 2009A Bonds, the<strong>District</strong> is solely obligated to provide funds (which may include remarketing or refunding proceeds) forthe payment upon the mandatory tender thereof and failure of the <strong>District</strong> to provide such funds willconstitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. In connection with $148,530,000 principal amount ofsuch variable rate Outstanding Water System Revenue Bonds (being the <strong>District</strong>’s Water System RevenueRefunding Bonds, Series 2011A (the “Series 2011A Bonds”)), the failure of the <strong>District</strong> to pay thepurchase price thereof upon the mandatory tender on certain scheduled mandatory purchase dates will notconstitute an Event of Default under the Indenture; however, in the event sufficient remarketing proceedsare not available for the purchase of such Series 2011A Bonds upon such mandatory tender, such Series2011A Bonds will go into a term-out period and will bear interest at an interest rate which is substantially81267597.3 20


higher than the current variable interest rate on the Series 2011A Bonds, and during such term-out period,the Series 2011A Bonds will be subject to special mandatory redemption over an approximately five-yearperiod, which will result in an acceleration in the repayment of the principal of the Series 2011A Bondsfrom the principal payments that would otherwise be due on such Series 2011A Bonds.In connection with $215,650,000 principal amount of the <strong>District</strong>’s variable rate OutstandingWater System Revenue Bonds, the <strong>District</strong> has entered into liquidity agreements with various banks toprovide liquidity facilities for such variable rate Outstanding Water System Revenue Bonds upon tenderthereof. The obligation of the <strong>District</strong> to repay any draws on such liquidity facilities is payable on a paritywith the Outstanding Water System Revenue Bonds to the extent such repayment is not thereafterprovided from remarketing proceeds of the related Outstanding Water System Revenue Bonds.Unreimbursed draws under liquidity facilities supporting such variable rate Outstanding Water SystemRevenue Bonds bear interest at a maximum rate that may be substantially in excess of the current interestrate on the related variable rate Outstanding Water System Revenue Bonds. Moreover, in certaincircumstances, the failure to reimburse draws on the liquidity facilities may result in the acceleration ofthe scheduled payment of principal on such variable rate Outstanding Water System Revenue Bonds. SeeTable 14 in APPENDIX A – “THE EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT (THE WATERSYSTEM) – WATER SYSTEM FINANCES – Variable Rate and Swap Obligations” for additionalinformation regarding the liquidity providers, the expiration date of the related liquidity facilities and theprincipal amount of Outstanding Water System Revenue Bonds covered under each such liquidity facility.In addition to the Outstanding Water System Revenue Bonds, the <strong>District</strong> has outstanding loanswith the State of California’s State Water Resources Control Board and the Department of WaterResources and certain interest rate swap agreements the scheduled payments under which are payablefrom Subordinated Water Revenues on a parity with the Water System Revenue Bonds, as describedbelow. See “–Interest Rate Swap Agreements” and “–State Loans.” The Outstanding Water SystemRevenue Bonds (including the Series 2009A-2 Bonds), together with any additional Water SystemRevenue Bonds issued under the Indenture, and any Parity Debt heretofore or hereafter issued or incurredin accordance with the Indenture, are on a parity as to the pledge of and lien on Subordinated WaterRevenues.Interest Rate Swap Agreements. As of January 15, 2013, the <strong>District</strong> had outstanding interestrate swap agreements relating to variable rate Outstanding Water System Revenue Bonds (hereinaftercollectively, the “Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements”) with various counterparties (collectively, the“Swap Providers”) in the aggregate notional amount of $446,155,000. The Water Interest Rate SwapAgreements were entered into to hedge the interest rate exposure on the related variable rate WaterSystem Revenue Bonds by synthetically converting the variable interest rate payments that the <strong>District</strong> isobligated to make with respect to the related Water System Revenue Bonds into substantially fixedpayments. In general, the terms of the Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements provide that, on a same-daynet–payment basis determined by reference to a notional amount, the <strong>District</strong> will pay a fixed interest rateon the respective notional amount. In return, the applicable Swap Counterparty will pay a variable rate ofinterest (determined as a specified percentage of an interest rate index) on a like notional amount.There is no guarantee that the floating rate payable to the <strong>District</strong> pursuant to each of the WaterInterest Rate Swap Agreements will match the variable interest rate on the associated Water SystemRevenue Bonds to which the respective Water Interest Rate Swap Agreement relates at all times or at anytime. Since the respective effective dates of the Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements, the floating ratespayable to the <strong>District</strong> pursuant to the Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements have generally not matchedthe variable interest rates on the associated Water System Revenue Bonds. To the extent that the SwapProviders are obligated to make a payment to the <strong>District</strong> under their respective Water Interest Rate SwapAgreement that is less than the interest due on the associated Water System Revenue Bonds to which such81267597.3 21


Water Interest Rate Swap Agreement relates, the <strong>District</strong> is obligated to pay such insufficiency fromSubordinated Water Revenues.The obligation of the <strong>District</strong> to make regularly scheduled payments to the Swap Providers underthe respective Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements is on a parity with the <strong>District</strong>’s obligation to makepayments on the Water System Revenue Bonds, including the Series 2009A-2 Bonds. Under certaincircumstances, the Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements may be terminated and the <strong>District</strong> may berequired to make a substantial termination payment to the respective Swap Providers. Pursuant to theWater Interest Rate Swap Agreements, any such termination payment owed by the <strong>District</strong> would bepayable on a basis that is subordinate to the Series 2009A-2 Bonds but prior to the <strong>District</strong>’s Extendable<strong>Municipal</strong> Commercial Paper Notes (Water Series).Pursuant to the terms of certain of the Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements, the <strong>District</strong> isrequired to post collateral in favor of a counterparty to the extent that the <strong>District</strong>’s total exposure fortermination payments to that counterparty exceeds the threshold amount specified in the applicable WaterInterest Rate Swap Agreement.See APPENDIX A – “THE EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT (THE WATERSYSTEM) – WATER SYSTEM FINANCES – Variable Rate and Swap Obligations” for additionalinformation regarding the Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements, including the <strong>District</strong>’s collateralposting obligations in connection therewith.The <strong>District</strong> may, from time-to-time, enter into additional interest rate swap agreements withsecurity and payment provisions as determined by the <strong>District</strong> and subject to any conditions contained inthe Indenture.Parity State Loans. The <strong>District</strong> participates in the California State Water Resources ControlBoard (the “SWRCB”) and the Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund low interest rate loanprograms, which were established to provide below-market rate financing for qualified water resourceprojects in the State. Under these programs, as of January 15, 2013, the <strong>District</strong> had outstanding loancontracts with the State (the “State Loans”) in the aggregate outstanding principal amount ofapproximately $17,917,000. All such State Loans were entered into subsequent to January 1993 andprovide that such State Loans shall be either senior to or on a parity with all future debt of the <strong>District</strong>.For purposes of calculating debt service coverage ratios, the <strong>District</strong> has treated all such State Loans asParity Debt. Any future State Loans would likely constitute Parity Debt under the Indenture.Subordinate Commercial Paper. The <strong>District</strong> has maintained a commercial paper note programsince 1988. In March 2009, the <strong>District</strong> implemented an extendable municipal commercial paper noteprogram for the purpose of retiring its then existing commercial paper note program. As of January 15,2013, the <strong>District</strong> had authorized up to $410,000,000 aggregate principal amount of tax-exemptExtendable <strong>Municipal</strong> Commercial Paper Notes (Water Series), of which $312,900,000 was outstandingas of January 15, 2013. See APPENDIX A – “THE EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT(THE WATER SYSTEM) – WATER SYSTEM FINANCES – Outstanding Debt” for a description of the<strong>District</strong>’s extendable municipal commercial paper note program.Issuance of Additional Water System Revenue Bonds and Parity Debt; Junior and SubordinateObligationsThe Indenture provides conditions under which additional series of Water System Revenue Bondsor other Parity Debt payable from Subordinated Water Revenues may be issued on a parity with theOutstanding Water System Revenue Bonds. Among other conditions, the Indenture requires that the81267597.3 22


<strong>District</strong> shall have placed on file with the Trustee a certificate of the <strong>District</strong> certifying that the sum of:(1) the Subordinated Water Revenues for any period of 12 consecutive months during the 18 monthsimmediately preceding the date on which such additional Water System Revenue Bonds or Parity Debtwill become Outstanding; plus (2) 90% of the amount by which the <strong>District</strong> projects Subordinated WaterRevenues for such period of 12 months would have been increased had increases in rates, fees andcharges during such period of 12 months been in effect throughout such period of 12 months; plus(3) 75% of the amount by which the <strong>District</strong> projects Subordinated Water Revenues will increase duringthe period of 12 months commencing on the date of issuance of such additional Series of Water SystemRevenue Bonds due to improvements to the Water System under construction (financed from any source)or to be financed with the proceeds of such additional Series of Water System Revenue Bonds, shall havebeen at least equal to 1.1 times the amount of Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Water SystemRevenue Bonds and Parity Debt then Outstanding and the additional Water System Revenue Bonds orParity Debt then proposed to be issued. See APPENDIX C – “SUMMARY OF CERTAINPROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE – Certain Definitions.”Refunding Water System Revenue Bonds may be authorized and issued by the <strong>District</strong> withoutcompliance with the provisions described above, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture,including the condition that Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Water System Revenue Bonds andParity Debt outstanding following the issuance of such refunding Water System Revenue Bonds is lessthan or equal to Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Water System Revenue Bonds and Parity Debtoutstanding prior to the issuance of such refunding Water System Revenue Bonds. See APPENDIX C –“SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INDENTURE – Refunding Bonds.”Pursuant to the Indenture, the <strong>District</strong> may incur obligations which are junior and subordinate tothe payment of the principal, redemption price, interest and reserve fund requirements for the WaterSystem Revenue Bonds and all Parity Debt and which subordinated obligations are payable as toprincipal, redemption price, interest and reserve fund requirements, if any, only out of SubordinatedWater Revenues after the prior payment of all amounts then required to be paid under the Indenture fromSubordinated Water Revenues for principal, redemption price, interest and reserve fund requirements forthe Water System Revenue Bonds and all Parity Debt, as the same become due and payable and at thetimes and in the manner as required in the Indenture or the instrument authorizing such Parity Debt, asapplicable.Limitations on RemediesThe ability of the <strong>District</strong> to comply with its covenants under the Indenture and to generate WaterRevenues sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Series 2009A-2 Bonds may be adverselyaffected by actions and events outside of the control of the <strong>District</strong>. Furthermore, any remedies availableto the owners of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Indentureare in many respects dependent upon judicial actions which are often subject to discretion and delay andcould prove both expensive and time consuming to obtain. In addition, enforceability of the rights andremedies of the Owners of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds, and the obligations incurred by the <strong>District</strong> underthe Series 2009A-2 Bonds and the Indenture, may become subject to the following: the federalBankruptcy Code and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar lawsrelating to or affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, now or hereafter in effect; equityprinciples which may limit the specific enforcement under State law of certain remedies; the exercise bythe United States of America of the powers delegated to it by the Constitution; and the reasonable andnecessary exercise, in certain exceptional situations, of the police powers inherent in the sovereignty ofthe State and its governmental bodies in the interest of serving a significant and legitimate public purpose.Bankruptcy proceedings, or the exercise of powers by the federal or State government, if initiated, couldsubject the owners of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds to judicial discretion and interpretation of their rights in81267597.3 23


ankruptcy or otherwise, and consequently may entail risks of delay, limitation, or modification of theirrights.AMENDMENTS TO THE INDENTUREThe Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture includes a number of amendments to the Indenture whichwill become effective upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the first date upon which all of the OutstandingSeries 2001 Bonds, Series 2002 Bonds, Series 2003 Bonds, Series 2005A Bonds, Series 2007A Bonds,Series 2007B Bonds, Series 2008A Bonds, Series 2008B Bonds and Series 2009A Bonds have been paidor discharged in accordance with their terms and shall no longer be Outstanding for purposes of theIndenture (all of which Series 2001 Bonds and Series 2002 Bonds have been retired and all of whichSeries 2003 Bonds are expected to be defeased upon delivery of the Series 2013A Bonds) and allobligations of the <strong>District</strong> under any interest rate swap agreements and any standby bond purchaseagreements or other liquidity facilities relating thereto shall have been discharged and satisfied, or (ii) thefirst date upon which the <strong>District</strong> has filed with the Trustee the written consents to the amendments to theIndenture set forth in the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture of (a) the Owners of a majority in aggregateprincipal amount of Bond Obligation then Outstanding and (b) the providers of any interest rate swapagreements and any standby bond purchase agreements, other liquidity facilities or other agreementsrelating to such Bond Obligation then Outstanding to the extent the consent thereof shall be required bythe terms of such interest rate swap agreements and any standby bond purchase agreements, otherliquidity facilities or other agreements.As modified, the term “Annual Debt Service” shall mean, for any Fiscal Year, the aggregateamount of principal and interest on all Water Bonds, Bonds and Parity Debt becoming due and payableduring such Fiscal Year calculated using the principles and assumptions set forth under the definition ofDebt Service.As modified, the term “Assumed Debt Service” shall mean for any Fiscal Year, the aggregateamount of principal and interest which would be payable on all Water Bonds, Bonds and Parity Debt ifeach Excluded Principal Payment were amortized for a period specified by the <strong>District</strong> (but no longer thanthirty (30) years from the date of the issuance of the Water Bonds, Bonds or Parity Debt to which suchExcluded Principal Payment relates) on a substantially level debt service basis or other amortization basisprovided by the <strong>District</strong>, calculated based on a fixed interest rate equal to the rate at which the <strong>District</strong>could borrow for such period, as certified by a certificate of a financial advisor or investment bankerdelivered to the Trustee, who may rely conclusively on such certificate, within thirty (30) days of the dateof calculation.As modified, the term “Debt Service” shall mean the amount of principal and interest becomingdue and payable on all Water Bonds, Bonds and Parity Debt provided, however, that for the purpose ofcomputing Debt Service:(a) Excluded Principal Payments shall be excluded from such calculation and AssumedDebt Service shall be included in such calculation;(b) if the Water Bonds, Bonds or Parity Debt are Variable Rate Indebtedness, the interestrate thereon for periods when the actual interest rate cannot yet be determined shall be assumed tobe equal to the average of the SIFMA <strong>Municipal</strong> Swap Index for the five (5) years preceding suchdate of calculation (provided, however, that if such index is no longer published, the interest rateon such Water Bonds, Bonds or Parity Debt shall be calculated based upon such similar index asthe <strong>District</strong> shall designate in writing to the Trustee) (the “Assumed SIFMA-based Rate”);81267597.3 24


(c) principal and interest payments on Water Bonds, Bonds and Parity Debt shall beexcluded to the extent such payments are to be paid from amounts on deposit with the Trustee oranother fiduciary in escrow or trust specifically therefor and to the extent that such interestpayments are to be paid from the proceeds of Water Bonds, Bonds or Parity Debt held by theTrustee or another fiduciary as capitalized interest;(d) in determining the principal amount, payment shall (unless a different subsection ofthis definition applies for purposes of determining principal maturities or amortization) beassumed to be made in accordance with any amortization schedule established for such debt,including any Mandatory Sinking Account Payments or any scheduled redemption or payment ofWater Bonds, Bonds or Parity Debt on the basis of Accreted Value, and for such purpose, theredemption payment or payment of Accreted Value shall be deemed a principal payment andinterest that is compounded and paid as Accreted Value shall be deemed due on the scheduledredemption or payment date of such Capital Appreciation Indebtedness;(e) if any interest rate swap agreement is in effect with respect to, and the regularlyscheduled payments thereunder are payable on a parity with, the Water Bonds, Bonds or ParityDebt to which it relates, interest deemed to be payable on any such Water Bonds, Bonds or ParityDebt with respect to which an interest rate swap agreement is in effect shall be based on the neteconomic effect expected by the <strong>District</strong> to be produced by the terms of such Water Bonds,Bonds or Parity Debt and such interest rate swap agreement, including but not limited to theeffects that (i) such Water Bonds, Bonds or Parity Debt would, but for such interest rate swapagreement, be treated as Variable Rate Indebtedness instead shall be treated as Water Bonds,Bonds or Parity Debt bearing interest at a fixed interest rate, and (ii) such Water Bonds, Bonds orParity Debt would, but for such interest rate swap agreement, be treated as Water Bonds, Bondsor Parity Debt bearing interest at a fixed interest rate instead shall be treated as Variable RateIndebtedness; and accordingly, the amount of interest deemed to be payable on any Water Bonds,Bonds or Parity Debt with respect to which an interest rate swap agreement is in force shall be anamount equal to the amount of interest that would be payable at the rate or rates stated in suchWater Bonds, Bonds or Parity Debt plus the amounts payable by the <strong>District</strong> under such interestrate swap agreement, minus the amounts receivable by the <strong>District</strong> under such interest rate swapagreement, and for the purpose of calculating as nearly as practicable such amounts, the followingassumptions shall be made:(1) if an interest rate swap agreement has been entered into by the <strong>District</strong>with respect to Water Bonds, Bonds or Parity Debt providing for the payment of a netvariable interest rate under such interest rate swap agreement with respect to such WaterBonds, Bonds or Parity Debt by the <strong>District</strong>, the interest rate on such Water Bonds,Bonds or Parity Debt for future periods when the actual interest rate cannot yet bedetermined shall be assumed (but only during the period the interest rate swap agreementis in effect) to be equal to the sum of (A) the fixed rate or rates stated in such WaterBonds, Bonds or Parity Debt minus (B) the fixed rate paid by the counterparty of suchinterest rate swap agreement to the <strong>District</strong>, plus (C) the lesser of (x) the interest rate cap,if any, provided by a counterparty with respect to such interest rate swap agreement (butonly during the period that such interest rate cap is in effect) and (y) the applicablevariable interest rate calculated in accordance with paragraph (b) above; and(2) if an interest rate swap agreement has been entered into by the <strong>District</strong>with respect to Water Bonds, Bonds or Parity Debt providing for the payment of a fixedrate of interest to maturity or for a specific term under such interest rate swap agreementwith respect to such Water Bonds, Bonds or Parity Debt by the <strong>District</strong>, the interest on81267597.3 25

Tax Limitations – Proposition 13CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY LIMITATIONSON TAXES AND APPROPRIATIONSArticle XIIIA of the State Constitution, known as Proposition 13, was approved by the voters inJune 1978. Section 1(a) of Article XIIIA limits the maximum ad valorem tax on real property to 1% of“full cash value,” and provides that such tax shall be collected by the counties and apportioned accordingto State statutes. Section 1(b) of Article XIIIA provides that the 1% limitation does not apply to advalorem taxes levied to pay interest or redemption charges on (1) indebtedness approved by the votersprior to July 1, 1978, and (2) any bonded indebtedness for the acquisition or improvement of real propertyapproved on or after July 1, 1978, by two-thirds of the votes cast by the voters voting on the proposition.Section 2 of Article XIIIA defines “full cash value” to mean the county assessor’s valuation ofreal property as shown on the 1975-76 Fiscal Year tax bill, or, thereafter, the appraised value of realproperty when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has occurred. The full cash valuemay be adjusted annually to reflect inflation at a rate not to exceed 2% per year, or to reflect a reductionin the consumer price index or comparable data for the taxing jurisdiction, or may be reduced in the eventof declining property value caused by substantial damage, destruction or other factors. Legislationenacted by the State Legislature to implement Article XIIIA provides that, notwithstanding any other law,local agencies may not levy any ad valorem property tax except to pay debt service on indebtednessapproved by the voters as described above. Such legislation further provides that each county will levythe maximum tax permitted by Article XIIIA, which is $1.00 per $100 of assessed market value. Thelegislation further establishes the method for allocating the taxes collected by each county among thetaxing agencies in the county. Special districts, such as the <strong>District</strong>, receive an allocation that is basedprimarily upon their tax levies in certain years prior to the amendment’s effective date relative to the taxlevies of other congruent agencies. The <strong>District</strong> receives approximately 1.25% of the non-debt serviceproperty taxes collected within its jurisdiction from Alameda and Contra Costa counties. See, however,APPENDIX A – “THE EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT (THE WATER SYSTEM) –WATER SYSTEM FINANCES – Property Tax Revenues” for a discussion of the borrowing by the Stateof certain property tax revenues of local jurisdictions for Fiscal Year 2009-10.Since its adoption, Article XIIIA has been amended a number of times. These amendments havecreated a number of exceptions to the requirement that property be reassessed when purchased, newlyconstructed or a change in ownership has occurred. These exceptions include certain transfers of realproperty between family members, certain purchases of replacement dwellings for persons over age 55and by property owners whose original property has been destroyed in a declared disaster, and certainimprovements to accommodate disabled persons and for seismic upgrades to property. Theseamendments have resulted in marginal reductions in the property tax revenues of the <strong>District</strong>.Increases of assessed valuation resulting from reappraisals of property due to new construction,change in ownership or from the 2% annual adjustment are allocated among the various jurisdictions inthe “taxing area” based upon their respective “situs.” Any such allocation made to a local agencycontinues as part of its allocation in future years.The effect of Article XIIIA on the <strong>District</strong>’s finances has been to restrict ad valorem tax revenuesfor general purposes to the statutory allocation of the 1% levy while leaving intact the power to levy advalorem taxes in whatever rate or amount may be required to pay debt service on its outstanding generalobligation bonds and unissued bonds authorized prior to July 1, 1978. Since Fiscal Year 1978-79 taxrevenues for the Water System have consisted exclusively of the <strong>District</strong>’s allocated share of the 1%county levy.81267597.3 27


Both the California State Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court have upheld thevalidity of Article XIIIA.For a description of the property tax collection procedure and certain statistical informationconcerning tax collections and delinquencies, see APPENDIX A – “THE EAST BAY MUNICIPALUTILITY DISTRICT (THE WATER SYSTEM) – WATER SYSTEM FINANCES – Property TaxRevenues.”Spending LimitationsAt the statewide special election of November 6, 1979, the voters approved an initiative entitled“Limitation of Government Appropriations” which added Article XIIIB to the California Constitution.Under Article XIIIB, State and local governmental entities have an annual “appropriations limit” whichlimits the ability to spend certain monies which are called “appropriations subject to limitation”(consisting of tax revenues, state subventions and certain other funds) in an amount higher than the“appropriations.” Article XIIIB does not affect the appropriation of monies which are excluded from thedefinition of “appropriations subject to limitation.” Among the exclusions is an “appropriation of anyspecial district which existed on January 1, 1978, and which did not as of the 1977-78 Fiscal Year levy anad valorem tax on property in excess of 12.5 cents per $100 of assessed value.” In the opinion of the<strong>District</strong>’s General Counsel, the appropriations of the <strong>District</strong> are excluded from the limitations ofArticle XIIIB under this clause.Proposition 62A statutory initiative (“Proposition 62”) was adopted by the voters voting in the State at theNovember 4, 1986 General Election which (1) requires that any tax for general governmental purposesimposed by local governmental entities be approved by resolution or ordinance adopted by two-thirdsvote of the governmental agency’s legislative body and by a majority of the electorate of thegovernmental entity, (2) requires that any special tax (defined as taxes levied for other than generalgovernmental purposes) imposed by a local governmental entity be approved by a two-thirds vote of thevoters within that jurisdiction, (3) restricts the use of revenues from a special tax to the purposes or for theservice for which the special tax was imposed, (4) prohibits the imposition of ad valorem taxes on realproperty by local governmental entities except as permitted by Article XIIIA, (5) prohibits the impositionof transaction taxes and sales taxes on the sale of real property by local governmental entities and(6) requires that any tax imposed by a local governmental entity on or after March 1, 1985 be ratified by amajority vote of the electorate within two years of the adoption of the initiative or be terminated byNovember 15, 1988.Proposition 218On November 5, 1996, the voters of the State approved Proposition 218, the so-called “Right toVote on Taxes Act.” Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State Constitution, whichcontain a number of provisions affecting the ability of local governments to levy and collect both existingand future taxes, assessments, fees and charges.Article XIIID. Article XIIID established procedural requirements for imposition of assessments,which are defined as any charge on real property for a special benefit conferred upon the real property.Standby charges are classified as assessments. Procedural requirements include the conducting of apublic hearing and an election by mailed ballot, with notice to the record owner of each parcel subject tothe assessment. The assessment may not be imposed if a majority of the ballots returned oppose the81267597.3 28


assessment, with each ballot weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affectedparcel. The <strong>District</strong> does not currently impose standby charges or assessments for its Water System.Article XIIID conditions the imposition or increase of any “fee” or “charge” upon there being nowritten majority protest after a required public hearing and, for fees and charges other than for sewer,water or refuse collection services, voter approval. Article XIIID defines “fee” or “charge” to meanlevies (other than ad valorem or special taxes or assessments) imposed by a local government upon aparcel or upon a person as an incident of the ownership or tenancy of real property, including a user fee orcharge for a “property-related service.” One of the requirements of Article XIIID is that before aproperty-related fee or charge may be imposed or increased, a public hearing upon the proposed fee orcharge must be held and notice must be mailed to the record owner of each identified parcel of land uponwhich the fee or charge is proposed for imposition. In the public hearing if written protests of theproposed fee or charge are presented by a majority of the owners of affected identified parcel(s), anagency may not impose the fee or charge.In Opinion No. 97-302, dated July 14, 1997, the California Attorney General concluded thatArticle XIIID is inapplicable to the <strong>District</strong>’s tiered water rate structure. The opinion makes a distinctionbetween a water rate structure based upon the amount of water used, which is not subject toArticle XIIID, and fees or assessments that are levied against a parcel of land on a per-parcel or per-acrebasis, which are subject to Article XIIID. The Attorney General concluded that fees for water that arebased upon metered amounts used are not imposed as an incident of property ownership and do not have adirect relationship to property ownership and, consequently, such fees would not be governed byArticle XIIID. On December 1, 2000, the Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate <strong>District</strong> of the Stateof California published an opinion regarding Proposition 218’s definition of property-related fees that isconsistent with Opinion No. 97-302. In Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association v. City of Los Angeles, theCourt of Appeal held that fees for water that are based upon metered amounts used are charges for acommodity and not related to property ownership and, consequently, Article XIIID does not apply to suchfees. However, in a decision rendered in February 2004, the California Supreme Court in Richmond et al.v. Shasta Community Services <strong>District</strong>, 32 Cal. 4th 409, upheld a Court of Appeals decision that waterconnection fees were not property-related fees or charges subject to Article XIIID, while at the same timestating in dicta that fees for ongoing water service through an existing connection were property-relatedfees and charges. In October 2004, the California Supreme Court granted review of the decision of theFourth <strong>District</strong> Court of Appeal in Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency v. Beringson, 120 Cal. App. 4th891 (2004), in which the appellate court had relied on Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association v. City ofLos Angeles and rejected the California Supreme Court’s dicta in Richmond et al. v. Shasta CommunityServices <strong>District</strong>. On March 23, 2005, the California Fifth <strong>District</strong> Court of Appeal published HowardJarvis Taxpayers Association v. City of Fresno, 127 Cal.App.4th 914 (5th Dist. 2005), holding that an “inlieu” fee which is payable to the City of Fresno’s general fund from its water utility and which is includedin the city’s water rate structure was invalid. In reaching its decision, the court concluded that the city’swater rates were “property related” fees, governed by the limitations of Article XIIID. The City of Fresnorequested a review of this decision by the California Supreme Court, which denied review. On July 24,2006, the California Supreme Court ruled in Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency v. Verjil. In dicta, theCalifornia Supreme Court repeated its previous dicta in Richmond et al. v. Shasta Community Services<strong>District</strong> that fees and charges for ongoing water service through an existing connection were propertyrelated fees and charges under Article XIIID. Prior to 2007, the <strong>District</strong> did not comply with the notice,hearing and protest procedures in Article XIII with respect to water rate increases based on the decision inHoward Jarvis Taxpayers Association v. City of Los Angeles and Opinion No. 97-302. However, the<strong>District</strong> has followed the notice, hearing and protest procedures in Article XIIID in connection with waterrate increases since the Fiscal Year 2008 rate increases and plans to follow such notice, hearing andprotest procedures in connection with future rate increases.81267597.3 29


In addition to the procedural requirements of Article XIIID, under Article XIIID all propertyrelatedfees and charges, including those which were in existence prior to the passage of Proposition 218in November 1996, must meet the following substantive standards:(1) Revenues derived from the fee or charge cannot exceed the funds required to provide theproperty-related service.(2) Revenues derived from the fee or charge must not be used for any purpose other than thatfor which the fee or charge was imposed.(3) The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident ofproperty ownership must not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable tothe parcel.(4) No fee or charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used by, orimmediately available to, the owner of the property in question. Fees or charges based onpotential or future use of a service are not permitted. Standby charges, whethercharacterized as charges or assessments, must be classified as assessments and cannot beimposed without compliance with Section 4 of Article XIIID (relating to assessments).(5) No fee or charge may be imposed for general governmental services including, but notlimited to, police, fire, ambulance or library services where the service is available to thepublic at large in substantially the same manner as it is to property owners.The <strong>District</strong> believes that its rates comply with the foregoing standards.Article XIIID provides that nothing in Proposition 218 shall be construed to affect existing lawsrelating to the imposition of fees or charges as a condition of property development. The <strong>District</strong> believesthat Proposition 218 does not apply to the <strong>District</strong>’s System Capacity Charge, although there can be noassurance that a court would not determine otherwise. See APPENDIX A – “THE EAST BAYMUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT (THE WATER SYSTEM) – WATER SYSTEM FINANCES –System Capacity Charge.”Article XIIIC. Article XIIIC provides that the initiative power shall not be prohibited orotherwise limited in matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or charge and that thepower of initiative to affect local taxes, assessments, fees and charges shall be applicable to all localgovernments. Article XIIIC does not define the terms “local tax,” “assessment,” “fee” or “charge.” OnJuly 24, 2006, the California Supreme Court held in Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency v. Verjil that theprovisions of Article XIIIC applied to rates and fees charged for domestic water use. In the decision, theCourt noted that the decision did not address whether an initiative to reduce fees and charges couldoverride statutory rate setting obligations. The <strong>District</strong> and its General Counsel do not believe thatArticle XIIIC grants to the voters within the <strong>District</strong> the power to repeal or reduce rates and charges in amanner that would be inconsistent with the contractual obligations of the <strong>District</strong>. No assurance can begiven that the voters of the <strong>District</strong> will not, in the future, approve initiatives which seek to repeal, reduceor prohibit the future imposition or increase of assessments, fees or charges, including the <strong>District</strong>’s waterservice fees and charges, which are the source of Subordinated Water Revenues pledged to the paymentof debt service on the Series 2009A-2 Bonds.The interpretation and application of Proposition 218 will likely be subject to further judicialdeterminations, and it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the outcome of suchdeterminations.81267597.3 30


Proposition 26Proposition 26 was approved by the electorate at the November 2, 2010 election and amendedCalifornia Constitution Articles XIIIA and XIIIC. The proposition imposes a two-thirds voter approvalrequirement for the imposition of fees and charges by the State. It also imposes a majority voter approvalrequirement on local governments with respect to fees and charges for general purposes, and a two-thirdsvoter approval requirement with respect to fees and charges for special purposes. Proposition 26,according to its supporters, is intended to prevent the circumvention of tax limitations imposed by thevoters in California Constitution Articles XIIIA, XIIIC and XIIID pursuant to Proposition 13, approved in1978, Proposition 218, approved in 1996, and other measures through the use of non-tax fees and charges.Proposition 26 expressly excludes from its scope a charge imposed for a specific government service orproduct provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does notexceed the reasonable cost to the State or local government of providing the service or product to thepayor. The <strong>District</strong> believes that the initiative is not intended to and would not apply to fees for utilityservices charged by special districts such as the <strong>District</strong>. The <strong>District</strong>, however, is unable to predictwhether Proposition 26 will be interpreted by the courts to apply to the provision of utility services bylocal governments such as the <strong>District</strong>.Other InitiativesArticles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID and Propositions 62 and 26 were adopted as measuresthat qualified for the ballot pursuant to California’s initiative process. From time to time other initiativeshave been and could be proposed and adopted affecting the <strong>District</strong>’s revenues or ability to increaserevenues. Neither the nature and impact of these measures nor the likelihood of qualification for ballot orpassage can be anticipated by the <strong>District</strong>.CONTINUING DISCLOSUREPursuant to a Continuing Disclosure Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2011, by and between the<strong>District</strong> and the Trustee, as dissemination agent, the <strong>District</strong> has covenanted and agreed for the benefit ofthe holders and beneficial owners of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds to provide in an annual report certainfinancial information and operating data relating to the <strong>District</strong> (the “Annual Report”) by not later than180 days following the end of the <strong>District</strong>’s fiscal year (which currently is June 30 of each year),commencing with the Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2010-11, and to provide notices of the occurrence ofcertain specified events. The Annual Report and the notices of specified events will be filed by theTrustee on behalf of the <strong>District</strong> with the <strong>Municipal</strong> Securities Rulemaking Board through the Electronic<strong>Municipal</strong> Marketplace Access (EMMA) website. The <strong>Municipal</strong> Securities Rulemaking Board has madesuch information available to the public without charge through such internet portal. The specific natureof the information to be contained in the Annual Report and the notices of specified events is set forth inAPPENDIX F – “FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.”As of the date hereof, the <strong>District</strong> is in compliance in all material respects with its continuingdisclosure undertakings for the last five years; however, due to administrative oversight, the <strong>District</strong>’scomplete Annual Report for 2008 was filed 27 days after the specified filing deadline and the <strong>District</strong>’scomplete Annual Report for 2011 was filed three days after the specified filing deadline. In addition, inconnection with the preparation of its Annual Report filing for Fiscal Year 2012, the <strong>District</strong> determinedthat a separate table summarizing the sources of revenues and contributions for each of the Water Systemand the Wastewater System was unintentionally omitted from the <strong>District</strong>’s filings prior to its AnnualReport for Fiscal Year 2012. The information contained in such table of sources of revenues andcontributions can be derived from the <strong>District</strong>’s audited financial statements and such information wasalso routinely made available in the <strong>District</strong>’s official statements during such period. In filing its Annual81267597.3 31


Report for Fiscal Year 2012, the <strong>District</strong> has included such a table with five years of data and thereby haseffectively provided all information necessary to make its prior filings for such years complete. The<strong>District</strong>’s Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2012 was timely filed on December 21, 2012. The <strong>District</strong> hasimplemented additional procedures to timely file complete annual reports in the future.LITIGATIONThere is no action, suit or proceeding known to be pending or threatened contesting or affectingthe validity of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds. There is no litigation known to be pending, or to theknowledge of the <strong>District</strong>, threatened, questioning the existence of the <strong>District</strong> or the title of the officersof the <strong>District</strong> to their respective offices.There exist lawsuits and claims against the <strong>District</strong>, which are incidental to the ordinary course ofoperations of the Water System. In the view of the <strong>District</strong>’s management and General Counsel, there isno litigation, present or pending, which will, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the<strong>District</strong>’s ability to service its indebtedness or which will have a material adverse effect on the businessoperations of the <strong>District</strong>. See APPENDIX A – “THE EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT(THE WATER SYSTEM)” for a discussion of certain pending litigation.RATINGSFitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”) has assigned the Series 2009A-2 Bonds the short-term rating of“F1+” and the long-term rating of “AA+ (stable outlook).” Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, aStandard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.(“Moody’s”) have assigned the Series 2009A-2 Bonds the short-term ratings of “____” and “_____,”respectively. Moody’s has also assigned the long-term rating of “_____________” to the Series 2009A-2Bonds. S&P has not assigned long-term ratings to the Series 2009A-2 Bonds. No application has beenmade to any other rating agency for the purpose of obtaining any additional rating on the Series 2009A-2Bonds. Any desired explanation of such ratings should be obtained from the rating agency furnishing thesame. Generally, rating agencies base their ratings on information and materials furnished to them and oninvestigations, studies and assumptions by the rating agencies. There is no assurance that any rating willcontinue for any given period of time or that it will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely bysuch rating agency if, in the judgment of such rating agency, circumstances so warrant. Any such changein or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series 2009A-2Bonds.TAX MATTERSIn the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Special Tax Counsel to the RemarketingAgents (“Special Tax Counsel”), based upon an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and courtdecisions, and assuming, among other matters, the accuracy of certain representations and compliancewith certain covenants, interest on the Series 2009A-2 Bonds is excluded from gross income for federalincome tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and is exemptfrom State of California personal income taxes. In the further opinion of Special Tax Counsel, interest onthe Series 2009A-2 Bonds is not a specific preference item for purposes of the federal individual orcorporate alternative minimum taxes nor is it included in adjusted current earnings when calculatingcorporate alternative minimum taxable income. A complete copy of the proposed form of opinion ofSpecial Tax Counsel is set forth in APPENDIX D.Series 2009A-2 Bonds purchased, upon redelivery or otherwise, for an amount higher than theirprincipal amount payable at maturity (or, in some cases, at their earlier call date) (the “Premium Bonds”)81267597.3 32


will be treated as having amortizable bond premium. No deduction is allowable for the amortizable bondpremium in the case of Series 2009A-2 Bonds, like the Premium Bonds, the interest on which is excludedfrom gross income for federal income tax purposes. However, the amount of tax-exempt interestreceived, and a beneficial owner’s basis in a Premium Bond, will be reduced by the amount ofamortizable bond premium properly allocable to such beneficial owner. Beneficial owners of PremiumBonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the proper treatment of amortizable bondpremium in their particular circumstances.The Code imposes various restrictions, conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion fromgross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on obligations such as the Series 2009A-2Bonds. The <strong>District</strong> has made certain representations and covenanted to comply with certain restrictions,conditions and requirements designed to ensure that interest on the Series 2009A-2 Bonds will not beincluded in federal gross income. Inaccuracy of these representations or failure to comply with thesecovenants may result in interest on the Series 2009A-2 Bonds being included in gross income for federalincome tax purposes, possibly from the date of original issuance of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds. Theopinion of Special Tax Counsel assumes the accuracy of these representations and compliance with thesecovenants. Special Tax Counsel has not undertaken to determine (or to inform any person) whether anyactions taken (or not taken), or events occurring (or not occurring), or any other matters coming to SpecialTax Counsel’s attention after the date of redelivery of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds may adversely affect thevalue of, or the tax status of interest on, the Series 2009A-2 Bonds. Accordingly, the opinion of SpecialTax Counsel is not intended to, and may not, be relied upon in connection with any such actions, eventsor matters.Although Special Tax Counsel is of the opinion that interest on the Series 2009A-2 Bonds isexcluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is exempt from State of Californiapersonal income taxes, the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Series2009A-2 Bonds may otherwise affect a beneficial owner’s federal, state or local tax liability. The natureand extent of these other tax consequences depends upon the particular tax status of the beneficial owneror the beneficial owner’s other items of income or deduction. Special Tax Counsel expresses no opinionregarding any such other tax consequences.Current and future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, clarification of the Code or courtdecisions may cause interest on the Series 2009A-2 Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federalincome taxation or to be subject to or exempted from state income taxation, or otherwise preventbeneficial owners from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. Theintroduction or enactment of any such legislative proposals, clarification of the Code or court decisionsmay also affect, perhaps significantly, the market price for, or marketability of, the Series 2009A-2Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds should consult their own tax advisorsregarding any pending or proposed federal or state tax legislation, regulations or litigation, and regardingthe impact of future legislation, regulations or litigation, as to which Special Tax Counsel expresses noopinionThe opinion of Special Tax Counsel is based on current legal authority, covers certain matters notdirectly addressed by such authorities, and represents Special Tax Counsel’s judgment as to the propertreatment of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds for federal income tax purposes. It is not binding on the InternalRevenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts. Furthermore, Special Tax Counsel cannot give and has not givenany opinion or assurance about the future activities of the <strong>District</strong>, or about the effect of future changes inthe Code, the applicable regulations, the interpretation thereof or the enforcement thereof by the IRS. The<strong>District</strong> has covenanted, however, to comply with the requirements of the Code.81267597.3 33


Special Tax Counsel’s engagement with respect to the Series 2009A-2 Bonds ends with theremarketing of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds, and, unless separately engaged, Special Tax Counsel is notobligated to defend the <strong>District</strong> or the beneficial owners regarding the tax-exempt status of the Series2009A-2 Bonds in the event of an audit examination by the IRS. Under current procedures, parties otherthan the <strong>District</strong> and their appointed counsel, including the beneficial owners, would have little, if any,right to participate in the audit examination process. Moreover, because achieving judicial review inconnection with an audit examination of tax-exempt bonds is difficult, obtaining an independent reviewof IRS positions with which the <strong>District</strong> legitimately disagree, may not be practicable. Any action of theIRS, including but not limited to selection of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds for audit, or the course or resultof such audit, or an audit of Series 2009A-2 Bonds presenting similar tax issues may affect the marketprice for, or the marketability of, the Series 2009A-2 Bonds, and may cause the <strong>District</strong> or the beneficialowners to incur significant expense.REMARKETINGPursuant to the terms of an amended and restated remarketing agreement, datedFebruary __, 2013 (the “Remarketing Agreement”), between the <strong>District</strong> and E.J. De La Rosa & Co., Inc.,as representative of itself and RBC Capital Markets, LLC (the “Remarketing Agents”), relating to theSeries 2009A-2 Bonds, the Remarketing Agents have agreed, subject to certain conditions set forth in theRemarketing Agreement, to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds from the<strong>District</strong> on the Conversion Date at a price of par for reoffering to the public.

Such opinions maybe affected by actions taken or omitted or events occurring after the date hereof. We have not undertaken81267597.3 D-1


to determine, or to inform any person, whether any such actions are taken or omitted or events do occur orany other matters come to our attention after the date hereof. Accordingly, this opinion is not intended to,and may not, be relied upon in connection with any such actions, events or matters. Our engagement withrespect to the Bonds has concluded with their remarketing, and we disclaim any obligation to update thisletter. We have assumed the genuineness of all documents and signatures presented to us (whether asoriginals or copies) and the due and legal execution thereof by, and validity against, all parties. We haveassumed, without undertaking to verify, the accuracy of the factual matters represented, warranted orcertified in the documents, and of the legal conclusions contained in the opinions, referred to in thesecond paragraph hereof. Furthermore, we have assumed compliance with all covenants and agreementscontained in the Indenture and the Tax Certificate, including (without limitation) covenants andagreements compliance with which is necessary to assure that past and future actions, omissions or eventshave not caused and will not cause the interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federalincome tax purposes.

The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Series 2009A-2 Bond (“Beneficial Owner”) is inturn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receivewritten confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receivewritten confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings,from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction.Transfers of ownership interests in the Series 2009A-2 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made onthe books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Ownerswill not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Series 2009A-2 Bonds, except inthe event that use of the book-entry system for the Series 2009A-2 Bonds is discontinued.To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2009A-2 Bonds deposited by Direct Participants withDTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as maybe requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds withDTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect anychange in beneficial ownership.

For example, Beneficial Owners of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds maywish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Series 2009A-2 Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtainand transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to providetheir names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds are beingredeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant insuch issue to be redeemed.Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect tothe Series 2009A-2 Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMIProcedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the <strong>District</strong> as soon as possibleafter the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to thoseDirect Participants to whose accounts the Series 2009A-2 Bonds are credited on the record date(identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2009A-2 Bonds will bemade to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and correspondingdetail information from the <strong>District</strong> or the Trustee, on the payable date in accordance with their respectiveholdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Direct or Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners willbe governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for theaccounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of suchParticipant and not of DTC, the Trustee, or the <strong>District</strong>, subject to any statutory or regulatoryrequirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and81267597.3 E-2


interest on the Series 2009A-2 Bonds to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by anauthorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the <strong>District</strong> or the Trustee, disbursement of suchpayments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments tothe Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Series2009A-2 Bonds at any time by giving notice to the Trustee and the <strong>District</strong>. Under certain circumstances,in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Series 2009A-2 Bond certificates are required tobe printed and delivered.The <strong>District</strong> may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers for the Series2009A-2 Bonds through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Series 2009A-2 Bondcertificates will be printed and delivered as provided in the Indenture. In addition, the followingprovisions would apply: the principal or redemption price of the Series 2009A-2 Bonds will be payableupon presentation thereof, at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, in San Francisco,California; interest on the Series 2009A-2 Bonds will be payable by check mailed on each interestpayment date to the registered owners thereof as shown on the registration books of the Trustee as of theas of the last business day of the calendar month immediately preceding the applicable interest paymentdate (the “record date”), except that in the case of an owner of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principalamount of Series 2009A-2 Bonds, upon written request of such owner to the Trustee received at least 10days prior to the record date for the payment of interest, specifying the account or accounts to which suchpayment shall be made (which request shall remain in effect until revoked by such owner in a subsequentwriting delivered to the Trustee), such interest shall be paid in immediately available funds by wiretransfer to such account or accounts on the following interest payment date; and the Series 2009A-2Bonds will be transferable and exchangeable on the terms and conditions provided in the Indenture.The information in this Appendix E concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has beenobtained from sources the <strong>District</strong> believes to be reliable, but the <strong>District</strong> takes no responsibility for theaccuracy thereof.81267597.3 E-3

It covers the eastern shore ofSan Francisco <strong>Bay</strong> from Carquinez Strait on the north to and including San Lorenzo on the south and itextends approximately 20 miles east, beyond the Oakland-Berkeley hills, into Contra Costa County.81277574.3 A-4


The <strong>District</strong>’s Water System serves this entire area, reaching 53% of the combined population ofAlameda County and Contra Costa County. Approximately two-thirds of the population within the<strong>District</strong> service area resides in the cities of Alameda, Berkeley, Oakland, San Leandro, Richmond andWalnut Creek.The land area between the present service area boundary and the ultimate service area boundary,approximately 69 square miles, includes some areas of potential development. However, a large part ofthis land area is parklands and other undeveloped lands that are not anticipated to be developed in theforeseeable future. Another 81 square miles within the ultimate service area boundary outside the<strong>District</strong>’s present service area boundary is under the waters of the San Francisco and San Pablo <strong>Bay</strong>s. Theultimate service area boundary is limited on the west and north by the shorelines of the San Francisco andSan Pablo <strong>Bay</strong>s. The ultimate service area boundary is limited on the south and northeast by adjoiningwater agencies which have sources of supply independent of the <strong>District</strong>. There is limited potential fornew development at the southern end of the San Ramon Valley, now in the early stages of land useplanning and environmental documentation, which is located just outside the ultimate service areaboundary. The <strong>District</strong> service area population, currently 1.3 million, is projected to grow by 2035 to apopulation of 1.75 million, with much of that growth expected to come from infill development within theurbanized parts of the service area.The <strong>Municipal</strong> <strong>Utility</strong> <strong>District</strong> Act was amended in 1941 to enable formation of special districtsfor wastewater service provision. In 1944, voters elected to form the <strong>District</strong>’s Special <strong>District</strong> No. 1 totreat wastewater released into the San Francisco <strong>Bay</strong>. The <strong>District</strong>’s wastewater treatment system (the“Wastewater System”) presently serves approximately 650,000 people in an 88-square-mile area of thetwo counties along the east shore of the San Francisco <strong>Bay</strong>, extending from Richmond on the north,southward to San Leandro. Domestic, commercial and industrial wastewater is treated for the six cities ofAlameda, Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland and Piedmont, and for the Stege Sanitary <strong>District</strong>,which includes El Cerrito, Kensington and part of Richmond. Each of these entities operates a sewercollection system that discharges into the <strong>District</strong>’s intercepting sewers. At the request of the City ofRichmond, the <strong>District</strong> is presently participating in a study to explore the possibility of the <strong>District</strong>accepting waste from sewers in that city. In addition to treating waste received through the sewercollection system, the <strong>District</strong> accepts high-organic waste streams delivered in trucks. The wastes includedomestic waste from septic tanks, fat, oil and grease from restaurants and other food and drink wastes.Taxation of the <strong>District</strong>All property of the <strong>District</strong> within the <strong>District</strong>’s boundaries generally is exempt from propertytaxation. <strong>District</strong>-owned land outside of the <strong>District</strong>’s boundaries is taxable, but improvementsconstructed on that land by the <strong>District</strong> are not taxable. As a public agency, the <strong>District</strong> is exempt fromthe payment of State of California (the “State”) and federal income taxes.81277574.3 A-5

within the <strong>District</strong>, and recycled water produced at various locations in the service area. During droughttimes, the <strong>District</strong> has substantial additional supplies from the Sacramento River via the FreeportRegional Water Project as described below. The <strong>District</strong> can also utilize water stored within a localaquifer through its <strong>Bay</strong>side Groundwater Project.Mokelumne River Watershed. The <strong>District</strong> holds permits and licenses issued by the State WaterResources Control Board (the “SWRCB”) which enable the <strong>District</strong> to utilize waters of the MokelumneRiver as the primary source of the water supply for the <strong>District</strong>’s service area. The average annual runoffof the Mokelumne River is about 745,000 acre-feet. (An acre-foot is the amount of water that will coverone acre to a depth of one foot and equals approximately 326,000 gallons, which represents the needs oftwo average families in and around the home for one year.) As described below under “– Water Rightsand Related Proceedings,” the <strong>District</strong>’s water rights permit the total diversion of approximately 364,000acre-feet per year from the Mokelumne River, subject to certain prior water rights. Annual waterproduction in the <strong>District</strong> to serve its customers has not exceeded 252,000 acre-feet. Water productionincludes the total water produced at the <strong>District</strong>’s water treatment plants and water moved through thedistribution system that was delivered to customers, as well as water lost through leaks in the transmissionsystem, water used in the treatment process, evaporation, water used for fighting fires and othermiscellaneous causes.Annual water production in the <strong>District</strong> since Fiscal Year 2003 is shown in Table 2 below.FiscalYearTable 2WATER PRODUCTION BY FISCAL YEAR (1)AnnualProduction(Acre-Feet)AnnualProduction(Thousands of Ccf)AnnualProduction(Million Gallons)Average ProductionPer Day (MillionGallons per Day)2003 238,721 103,987 77,782 2132004 251,935 109,743 82,088 2242005 229,155 99,820 74,666 2052006 236,866 103,179 77,174 2112007 236,111 102,850 76,932 2112008 230,363 100,346 75,059 2052009 203,423 (2) 88,611 (2) 66,281 (2) 182 (2)2010 195,158 (2) 85,011 (2) 63,588 (2) 174 (2)2011 194,642 (2) 84,786 (2) 63,420 (2) 174 (2)2012 200,220 (2) 87,216 (2) 65,242 (2) 178 (2)____________________(1)Water production includes water lost through leaks in the transmission system, used in the treatment process,evaporation, fighting fires and other miscellaneous causes, which approximates 10.0% of gross production.(2)Reflects implementation of conservation measures as a result of drought conditions and reduced post-droughtconsumption.Source: The <strong>District</strong>.See also “– Water Supply Operations” below.During the ten-year period from 2002 to 2011, the annual Mokelumne River runoff has rangedfrom a low of just over 400,000 acre-feet in Water Year 2008 to a high of over 1.45 million acre-feet inWater Year 2006. (A Water Year begins on October 1 and ends of the following September 30). In 1977,the lowest year of record since records have been kept, the annual runoff from the Mokelumne River was129,000 acre-feet. Faced with fluctuating runoff volumes and periodic drought conditions, the <strong>District</strong> hasdeveloped a comprehensive approach to ensuring reliable water supply. That approach, its Water Supply81277574.3 A-7


Management Plan, utilizes demand management and multiple supply options to meet long-term waterneeds. The plan is discussed below under “– Water Supply Management Plan” below.The Mokelumne River watershed also serves municipal, industrial and agricultural water needs inthree Sierra Nevada foothill counties (Amador, Calaveras and San Joaquin), in addition to the municipaland industrial needs of the <strong>District</strong>’s service area. The agencies and individual diverters on theMokelumne River each operate and divert water under separate entitlements, permits and licenses, alongwith a number of contracts and agreements among various agencies and under certain court decrees.Entities with water rights in the Mokelumne River watershed senior to those of the <strong>District</strong>include Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“PG&E”) (which rights are essentially non-consumptive otherthan for project uses), Amador Water Agency and Jackson Valley Irrigation <strong>District</strong> (referred tocollectively in the graphic on the next page as “AWA”) (for a total potential consumptive diversion of20,000 acre-feet per year in Amador County); Calaveras County Water <strong>District</strong> and Calaveras Public<strong>Utility</strong> <strong>District</strong> (for a total potential consumptive diversion of 27,000 acre-feet per year in CalaverasCounty); and Woodbridge Irrigation <strong>District</strong> and the City of Lodi (for a total potential consumptivediversion of 63,600 acre-feet in normal and wet years and 42,600 acre-feet in dry years in San JoaquinCounty). In addition, adjacent property owners retain certain historical riparian and appropriative rights towater from the river. See “– Water Supply Management Plan” for discussion of potential effects ofprojected increased use of senior water rights holders on <strong>District</strong> water supplies and the <strong>District</strong>’s effortsto increase future supply through multiple water supply projects. In addition, the <strong>District</strong>’s water rightsfrom the State for the Camanche Reservoir, including the <strong>District</strong>’s obligations under a 1998 JointSettlement Agreement among the <strong>District</strong>, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the CaliforniaDepartment of Fish and Game incorporated therein (the “1998 Joint Settlement Agreement”), requiresthat minimum releases be made from Camanche Reservoir for the protection of downstream fisheries. Seealso “– Water Rights and Related Proceedings” below.The following graphic summarizes the priorities of Mokelumne River water rights and other flowcommitments with respect to the Mokelumne River water supply in a normal Water Year. “TAF” as usedin the graphic refers to thousand acre-feet.[REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.]81277574.3 A-8

Local runoff. In normal Water Years, <strong>District</strong> reservoirs in the <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> receive an additional30,000 acre-feet of water from local watershed runoff. Much of the local runoff is stored in the <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong>reservoirs for system use. In dry years, evaporation and other reservoir losses can total more than therunoff. Thus, there is no firm yield from local watersheds.United States Bureau of Reclamation Central Valley Project Contract; Freeport RegionalWater Project. In December 1970, the <strong>District</strong> entered into its original Central Valley Project Contract(“CVP Contract”) with the United States Bureau of Reclamation (the “Bureau”), entitling the <strong>District</strong> totake up to a specified quantity of American River water from the Folsom-South Canal Unit of theBureau’s Central Valley Project (“CVP”) annually. The CVP Contract was superseded on July 20, 2001by an Amendatory Contract, which, in turn, was superseded on April 10, 2006 by a Long-Term RenewalContract (“Long-Term Renewal CVP Contract”). The Long-Term Renewal CVP Contract has a term of40 years, with a right of renewal for an additional 40 years available to the <strong>District</strong>. Historically, the<strong>District</strong> did not have permanent infrastructure in place to receive CVP contract water. The FreeportRegional Water Project (hereinafter, the “FRWP”), which was placed in commercial operation onNovember 15, 2011, provides the permanent infrastructure to allow the <strong>District</strong> to receive water deliveriespursuant to the Long-Term Renewal CVP Contract. Under the Long-Term Renewal CVP Contract, the<strong>District</strong> is entitled to receive deliveries of up to 133,000 acre-feet per year (119 million gallons per day(hereinafter, “MGD”)) of CVP water in a single dry year, and no more than 165,000 acre-feet over thecourse of any three consecutive dry-years. The FRWP can provide up to 100 MGD (112,000 acre-feet peryear) of supplemental water supplies to the <strong>District</strong> in dry years which helps meet projected drought yearneeds.The FRWP is a regional water supply project undertaken by the <strong>District</strong> in partnership with theSacramento County Water Agency (“SCWA”). In February 2002, with the support of the Bureau, the<strong>District</strong> and SCWA formed the Freeport Regional Water Authority (“FRWA”) under a joint powersagreement to develop the FRWP. The FRWP provides the permanent infrastructure to allow the <strong>District</strong>to receive water deliveries pursuant to the Long-Term Renewal CVP Contract at a new point of diversionalong the Sacramento River. In addition to providing the <strong>District</strong> up to 100 MGD of supplemental waterin dry years as described above, the FRWP can provide up to 85 MGD to SCWA in all years.In 2007, the <strong>District</strong> entered into a Dedicated Capacity Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 1,2007, by and between FRWA and the <strong>District</strong> (the “Dedicated Capacity Purchase Agreement”). Pursuantto the Dedicated Capacity Purchase Agreement, FRWA sells to the <strong>District</strong> and the <strong>District</strong> agrees toacquire 100 MGD of capacity in the FRWP (“Dedicated Capacity”) in accordance with the SecondAmended Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Concerning the Freeport Regional Water Authority datedas of November 20, 2006 (the “FRWA JPA Agreement”). The purchase price of the Dedicated Capacityhas been paid by the <strong>District</strong> in accordance with the FRWA JPA Agreement as a portion of the <strong>District</strong>’scapital cost of the FRWP pursuant to the FRWA JPA Agreement. In the event of future capitalimprovements to the FRWP, the <strong>District</strong> may be required to make additional capital contributions for itsshare of such costs pursuant to the FRWA JPA Agreement.The FRWP diverts water from the Sacramento River near the community of Freeport and conveysthis water through new pipelines and the existing Folsom South Canal (“FSC”) to the <strong>District</strong>’sMokelumne Aqueduct near Camanche Reservoir. A turnout in the pipe within central Sacramento Countydelivers water to SCWA. Water is delivered to the <strong>District</strong> pursuant to its Long-Term Renewal CVPContract. CVP water received by the <strong>District</strong> will be treated at existing <strong>District</strong> treatment facilities prior todelivery to customers. Short-term storage, if needed, will be provided at the <strong>District</strong>’s San Pablo terminalreservoir or Upper San Leandro reservoir. See “– Water Facilities” below.The FRWP includes a number of significant components. Chiefly, the components consist of anintake and pumping plant, approximately 16 miles of pipeline and a communications system. Thecapacity of the intake and pumping plant is 185 MGD. The pipeline includes a 7-foot diameter segment81277574.3 A-10


which runs from the intake to the SCWA turnout, a 5-foot, 6-inch diameter pipeline segment which feedsa new SCWA Treatment Plant and a 6-foot diameter pipeline segment which discharges to the FSC. Fiberoptic and radio systems link project facilities and key outside agencies.Water flows within the FSC for 14 miles and, in turn, is recaptured by the <strong>District</strong> and directedvia pipeline along a route which leads to the <strong>District</strong>’s Mokelumne Aqueducts. That southern system(known as the FSC Connection or the “FSCC”) is a <strong>District</strong>-only element, and includes two 100 MGDpumping plants (an intake and a pumping plant at the terminus of the FSC and a high head pumping plantnear Camanche Reservoir) and approximately 18 miles of 6-foot diameter pipeline.The combined FRWP/FSCC system underwent a successful integrated operational test and,following such test was placed into commercial operation on November 15, 2011, and can be utilized bythe <strong>District</strong> during dry years when the <strong>District</strong>’s contractual right to CVP water is made available.The <strong>District</strong> has adopted a supplemental supply charge of 14% of total water flow charges whichmay be added to customers’ water bills during droughts when the Board declares a need to take deliveriesof its CVP water under the Long-Term Renewal CVP Contract. The supplemental supply charge isdesigned to cover the costs of operating the Freeport Regional Water Project and the costs of CVP waterduring dry year periods when the <strong>District</strong> takes deliveries of CVP water. See “WATER SYSTEMFINANCES – Supplemental Supply Charge.”<strong>Bay</strong>side Groundwater Project. In December 2009, the <strong>District</strong> completed another supplementalsupply project, the <strong>Bay</strong>side Groundwater Project Phase 1. The <strong>Bay</strong>side Groundwater Project consists offacilities designed to provide a means of storing treated drinking water in a deep underground aquiferduring wet years for future recovery, re-treatment and distribution to customers during times of drought.Implementation of the project is planned in two phases. The <strong>Bay</strong>side Groundwater Project Phase 1,completed in December 2009, provides a modest, locally available supplemental water supply that helpsreduce the need for rationing in the event of a prolonged drought. Phase 1 is used to store an annualaverage of one MGD (1,120 acre-feet per year) of water within a deep aquifer that extends beneath thecommunity of San Lorenzo. Storage operations will take place when water can be made available (duringwet years). The <strong>District</strong> stored (injected) water for an eight week period beginning on June 2, 2011 andending at the end of July 2011. The estimated volume of water stored is in the range of 30-40 milliongallons (92-123 acre-feet). A volume equal to the total stored can be supplied to customers during dryyears (at a delivery rate that does not exceed one MGD), helping to reduce the need for rationing. PrimaryPhase 1 facilities as constructed include an injection/extraction well (and pump), a treatment plant, agroundwater monitoring network and instruments used to measure minute changes (if any) in groundsurface elevation (subsidence) during Phase 1 operations. The <strong>District</strong> intends to continue to operatePhase 1 facilities in either a storage mode or possibly an extraction mode (as based on water supplyavailable for storage and/or drought conditions coupled with the need for water). Information gatheredfrom Phase 1 operations will be used in part to determine the feasibility of Phase 2 and inform its futuredeterminations on how to proceed with Phase 2 (which could provide an additional 9 MGD of supply).Water RecyclingThe <strong>District</strong> has undertaken a Water Recycling Program to develop and implement projects thatreduce demands on potable water supplies. Recycled water has been used for landscape irrigation,cooling, equipment washdown and construction purposes at the <strong>District</strong>’s Main Wastewater TreatmentPlant since the early 1970s, as well as at a number of golf courses in the <strong>District</strong>’s service area, beginningin 1984. Since 1993, the <strong>District</strong> has implemented various other recycled water projects that are designedto produce in the aggregate 9.3 MGD of additional supply. The program currently includes six operatingrecycled water projects. In 1996, the <strong>District</strong> began providing recycled water to the Richmond ChevronOil Refinery for use in recirculating cooling towers. In 2006, the <strong>District</strong> began providing recycled waterto a number of sites in San Ramon for irrigation purposes through the San Ramon Valley Recycled Water81277574.3 A-11


Program described below. In 2008, the <strong>District</strong> began providing recycled water to a number of sites inOakland primarily for irrigation purposes.On April 9, 1996, the <strong>District</strong>’s Board adopted the Nonpotable Water Policy which requirescustomers of the <strong>District</strong> to use nonpotable water (recycled water and other nonpotable water sources) fornondomestic purposes when it is of adequate quality and quantity, available at reasonable cost, notdetrimental to public health, and not injurious to plant life, fish and wildlife. The <strong>District</strong> has undertakenor will undertake in the future several water recycling project expansions in accordance with the longtermwater recycling goal of 20 MGD by the year 2040. See “– Water Supply Management Plan” below.The <strong>District</strong> has entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement with the Dublin San Ramon Services<strong>District</strong> (“DSRSD”) creating the DSRSD/EBMUD Recycled Water Authority (“DERWA”) for thepurpose of implementing a recycled water program to make available reliable supplies of recycled waterto be provided to the <strong>District</strong> and DSRSD for their distribution within portions of their existing and futureservice areas. The first phase of the DERWA recycled water program, the San Ramon Valley RecycledWater Program, which provides recycled water supplies to a number of sites in San Ramon, wascompleted and became operational in 2006. The costs of such initial phase of facilities were financedfrom commercial paper notes issued by DERWA, State loan and grant moneys and capital contributionsmade by the <strong>District</strong> and DSRSD. The DERWA commercial paper notes were fully retired in January2011 through the refinancing by each of DSRSD and the <strong>District</strong> of their respective obligations under theDERWA commercial paper program. The second phase of the DERWA recycled water program has alsobeen completed. The <strong>District</strong>’s share of the costs of the second phase of facilities was financed fromfederal grant funding and <strong>District</strong> capital contributions for the <strong>District</strong>’s local share portion. The <strong>District</strong>has also completed additional distribution systems which were also financed by federal grants and <strong>District</strong>capital contributions for the local share match. The <strong>District</strong> and DSRSD have entered into an agreementfor the sale of recycled water by DERWA to the <strong>District</strong> and DSRSD pursuant to which each of the<strong>District</strong> and DSRSD are responsible for paying their respective share of the costs incurred by DERWA inimplementing the DERWA recycled water program (including among other things, administrative costs,construction costs, operation and maintenance costs and costs of debt service on any obligations issued byDERWA for the purposes of the recycled water program). Payments to be made by the <strong>District</strong> undersuch recycled water sales agreement for the purchase of recycled water are payable as a Water Operationand Maintenance Cost regardless of whether any recycled water is made available to the <strong>District</strong> fromsuch facilities.Another key water recycling project that is part of the <strong>District</strong>’s Water Recycling Program is theRichmond Advanced Recycled Expansion (“RARE”) Water Project. Construction of the RARE WaterProject began in Fiscal Year 2009 and the first phase of the project was completed in Fiscal Year 2011. Itinitially provides 3.5 MGD of high quality recycled water to the Chevron refinery for use in industrialboilers (recycled water has been provided by the <strong>District</strong> to the Chevron refinery for use in recirculatingcooling towers since 1996 as noted above). The project consists of a new high-purity recycled watertreatment plant at the refinery, an influent pump station, flow equalization and a standby generator. Intotal, Chevron reimbursed the <strong>District</strong> approximately $55 million for capital costs of the RARE WaterProject. The Chevron Oil Refinery is currently the largest single user of recycled water in the <strong>District</strong>’sservice area.Water Rights and Related ProceedingsMokelumne River Rights. The <strong>District</strong>’s appropriative rights to its Mokelumne River watersupply include a license, which has a priority date of 1924, entitling the <strong>District</strong> to divert up to 200 MGD(approximately 224,000 acre-feet per year) to its service area from the Mokelumne River, and a permit,which has a 1949 priority, entitling the <strong>District</strong> to divert up to an additional 125 MGD (approximately140,000 acre-feet per year) to the service area. The permit by its terms required that application of thewater to the proposed use be made by December 1, 2000. The <strong>District</strong> has completed construction of81277574.3 A-12


water diversion and storage facilities authorized by the permit for the diversion of up to the additional125 MGD and in 2000, petitioned the SWRCB to extend the time to complete the application of waterunder the permit beyond the initial permit term of December 1, 2000 to allow additional time to put theentitlement to full beneficial use. The SWRCB posted a public notice of the petition in January 2007,commencing a formal proceeding which included an opportunity for other entities to protest the <strong>District</strong>’spetition. The protest period ended on February 9, 2007, resulting in seven protests. The <strong>District</strong> had 180days within which to resolve the protests from the date which the SWRCB accepted the protests as valid.The SWRCB accepted portions of the protests as valid in November 2007. Since all of the protests werenot dismissed, a hearing before the SWRCB on the petition is likely to commence at some point in 2013or later. Although the <strong>District</strong> is unable to predict the final outcome of these proceedings at this time, the<strong>District</strong> does not expect that such proceedings will materially adversely affect its water supply oroperations. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the <strong>District</strong> issued aNotice of Preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) for the permit extension inNovember 2008. The comment period for the Notice of Preparation closed on December 11, 2008, andthe <strong>District</strong> received seven comment letters. The <strong>District</strong> will consider the comments in preparing thedraft EIR which is anticipated to be released for public review and comment in 2013. In addition to thewater rights described above, the <strong>District</strong> also has a series of rights for the production of hydroelectricpower at Pardee and Camanche Dams. The <strong>District</strong> also holds rights associated with its local reservoirs.As previously noted, the State has placed conditions on operations in the <strong>District</strong>’s MokelumneRiver water rights requiring that minimum releases be made from Camanche Reservoir for the protectionof anadromous fisheries. The <strong>District</strong> has entered into a series of agreements with State and federalagencies which are incorporated into its water rights and implemented through the annual Water Systemoperations plan. Notably, the 1998 Joint Settlement Agreement is a multi-party agreement that providesfor mitigation of the impact of the construction of Camanche Dam and Reservoir on historical spawninggrounds for anadromous fish. Pursuant to the 1998 Joint Settlement Agreement, the <strong>District</strong>’s requiredminimum releases from Camanche Dam are adjusted to reflect the time of year and type of Water Year(e.g., Normal/Above Normal, Below Normal, Dry and Critically Dry). In critically dry and dry years, aminimum average of from 22,500 to 65,000 acre-feet per year must be released downstream by the<strong>District</strong> to satisfy its obligations for the protection of fisheries resources. See “Water Supply – MokelumneRiver Watershed” above.Central Valley Project Improvement Act. In 1992, Congress enacted the Central Valley ProjectImprovement Act (“CVPIA”) which provides environmental protections for fish and wildlife in theoperation of the CVP. In 2000, the Bureau issued a Record of Decision on the CVPIA ProgrammaticEnvironmental Impact Statement (“PEIS”). The PEIS identified the impacts to CVP contract watersupplies as a result of implementing the new fish and wildlife protection provisions of the CVPIA. AllCVP contractors will be subject to shortages in CVP supply during dry years. The CVPIA requires that allCVP contracts contain provisions consistent with the CVPIA, including provisions for conservation andtiered prices. The <strong>District</strong> has executed the Long-Term Renewal CVP Contract consistent with theCVPIA provisions. See “– Water Supply – United States Bureau of Reclamation Central Valley ProjectContract; Freeport Regional Water Project” above.Water Supply Management PlanThe <strong>District</strong> recently updated it long range planning with the Water Supply Management Plan,extending the planning horizon from 2020 to 2040 (“WSMP 2040”). WSMP 2040 serves as the plan toensure an adequate supply of water through the year 2040 for <strong>District</strong> customers. The primary objectivesof WSMP 2040 are to maintain and improve the <strong>District</strong>’s water supply reliability to its customers andhelp meet the growing need for water in the future. WSMP 2040 also guides adaption of the <strong>District</strong>’swater planning approach to circumstances that have changed since its prior Water Supply ManagementPlan, WSMP 2020, was adopted, such as competing and changing demands for water, the availability of81277574.3 A-13


water from the completed FRWP and <strong>Bay</strong>side Groundwater Project Phase 1, and long-term climatechange. Further, the goal of the WSMP 2040 continues to be to examine what the <strong>District</strong> has donehistorically and what it can do in the future to ensure optimal use of the <strong>District</strong>’s water resources.WSMP 2040 assesses the supplemental supplies that are expected to be needed to serve aprojected increase in water demand in the <strong>District</strong>’s service area of approximately 0.8% per year between2010 and 2040 (an additional 60 MGD from 2010 to 2040). WSMP 2040 also addresses the potential foradditional constraints on the water supply available to the <strong>District</strong> arising from increased demand of thesenior water rights holders along the Mokelumne River.The WSMP 2040 provides for the <strong>District</strong> to meet its future drought year needs for water through2040 by:• increasing water conservation by an additional 39 MGD beyond current savings of 23MGD (the savings achieved from 1993 to 2008) for a total 2040 savings of 62 MGD;• increasing water recycling from 9 to 20 MGD;• continued rationing during times of drought by up to 15%; and• securing an additional 115,000 acre-feet (35 MGD annual average) of supplemental watersupplies.WSMP 2040 addresses the uncertainties posed by future climate change through its multi-elementapproach of demand management and a wide array of potential future supply options. In 2008, the <strong>District</strong>incorporated climate change into its strategic plan and issued its first Climate Change Monitoring andResponse Plan. Both documents were updated in 2010. An interdisciplinary staff committee is reviewingthe evolving science of climate change, assessing potential water supply impacts and vulnerabilities, anddeveloping strategies for adaptation and mitigation. This information will continuously inform theimplementation process for projects and programs under the WSMP 2040. See also “– Climate Change”below.As a result of the completion of WSMP 2040 as described above, the <strong>District</strong> is undertakingefforts to identify and secure sources of supplemental water supply. For example, during the next severalyears, the <strong>District</strong> will be working to identify water transfer opportunities with various entities withinNorthern California, and specifically within the Sacramento River watershed, with a view toward utilizingthe FRWP to move supplies as secured via water transfers. As part of WSMP 2040, the <strong>District</strong> identifieda possible contractual relationship and/or partnership opportunity with Contra Costa Water <strong>District</strong>(“CCWD”), an adjacent water agency, to secure from 20,000 to 30,000 acre-feet of storage in CCWD’sLos Vaqueros Reservoir (the expansion of which was completed in 2012 to increase its total storage from100,000 acre-feet to 160,000 acre-feet). The <strong>District</strong> initiated discussions with CCWD this year regardingthe storage sharing opportunity. Within the next five to ten years approximately, the <strong>District</strong> will alsoreview the operation of the <strong>Bay</strong>side Groundwater Project Phase 1, to determine the possibility for aPhase 2 expansion (which could provide an additional 9 MGD of supply).Beyond those efforts, the <strong>District</strong> will also be reviewing other regional partnership opportunities.The <strong>District</strong> will work with Sacramento County water providers to evaluate the possibility of developinga regional groundwater banking operation. Further, the <strong>District</strong> will work with San Joaquin County waterproviders to evaluate the possibility of developing a conjunctive use/groundwater banking operation.Also, the <strong>District</strong> will continue to work with foothill water agencies to evaluate the possibility ofexpanding the storage in Lower Bear Reservoir (located on an upper tributary to the Mokelumne River).Finally, the <strong>District</strong> will work to assess the potential to develop a regional desalination project inpartnership with other <strong>Bay</strong> Area water agencies. Regional groundwater banking and desalination planningefforts are described below.81277574.3 A-14


Groundwater Banking Options. The <strong>District</strong> has been exploring groundwater resourcedevelopment in San Joaquin County. The <strong>District</strong> began negotiating with San Joaquin County waterinterests for a groundwater banking and conjunctive-use program in 1992. The overdrafted aquifer withinSan Joaquin County, which is traversed by the Mokelumne River and the <strong>District</strong>’s Mokelumneaqueducts, presented an opportunity for a joint project of mutual benefit. However, lack of consensusamong local water users and the absence of a legal framework to assure that a portion of the stored watercould be exported to serve <strong>District</strong> customers during droughts has prevented a project from beingdeveloped. The <strong>District</strong> will continue to seek opportunities to develop a banking project within SanJoaquin County, but no project has currently been identified.<strong>Bay</strong> Area Regional Desalination Project. Since 2003, the <strong>District</strong> has been working with other<strong>Bay</strong> Area water agencies, specifically the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (“SFPUC”), CCWDand Santa Clara Valley Water <strong>District</strong>, and since 2010, the Zone 7 Water Agency, to explore thedevelopment of regional desalination facilities that could (1) provide additional source(s) of water duringemergencies, (2) provide an alternative water supply that would allow major facilities to be taken out ofservice for an extended period of time for inspection, maintenance or repairs, and (3) provide asupplemental supply during drought periods.In the spring of 2010, the <strong>District</strong> and its partners finalized a report on the completed pilot testingof a desalination facility concept. The test was conducted in 2009 within the CCWD service area alongMallard Slough. In 2012, a study is being conducted to review the mechanisms by which water would beconveyed from a regional plant to the various water supply agencies. That work is expected to becompleted in early 2013. Test results will be used to help evaluate the technical feasibility of developingand operating the above-mentioned regional desalination facilities in the form of a full scale project.Water ConservationThe <strong>District</strong> has developed a Water Conservation Master Plan, most recently updated in 2011 (the“WCMP”), which directs the <strong>District</strong>’s comprehensive water conservation strategies and initiatives topromote water conservation and reduce demand for water. The WCMP serves as a blueprint forimplementation strategies, goals and objectives for achieving additional water savings consistent with thetargets identified in the <strong>District</strong>’s 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (“UWMP”). The <strong>District</strong> providestechnical and financial assistance to encourage customers to help assure an adequate water supply byusing water efficiently. The <strong>District</strong> advises customers on selecting water-efficient products,implementing best management practices, and designing/maintaining WaterSmart landscaping andefficient irrigation methods. Water conservation services include water use surveys, incentives for highefficiencyplumbing fixtures, appliances, process equipment and irrigation systems, and free distributionof conservation self-survey kits and water efficient devices (i.e., showerhead, faucet aerators) that reducewater use. The <strong>District</strong> is also very active in new water conservation technology research and thedevelopment of education and demonstration projects.The WCMP incorporates elements of the State Water Conservation Act of 2009 (Senate Bill X7-7) toward a statewide goal of a 20% reduction in urban per capita water use by the year 2020. All urbanwater agencies in the State were required to report their baseline per capita water use and reductiontargets in their 2010 UWMP. The <strong>District</strong> has determined its base daily per capita use utilizing a Stateapprovedmethodology which applies a 5% reduction from the <strong>District</strong>’s 2003 to 2007 baseline usage.The resulting <strong>District</strong> target for the year 2020 is 150 gallons per capita per day with an interim target forthe year 2015 of 158 gallons per capita per day. The <strong>District</strong> is on track to meet these targets. The <strong>District</strong>currently assesses that with the implementation of the planning programs outlined in its 2010 UWMP, amore aggressive and lower year 2020 demand level can be achieved (estimated at 144 gallons per capitaper day). The <strong>District</strong>’s 2015 UWMP will identify the <strong>District</strong>’s final target for the year 2020 and itsprogress toward meeting that goal.81277574.3 A-15


Water FacilitiesPardee Reservoir. The <strong>District</strong>’s Mokelumne River water is collected and stored at PardeeReservoir, located in the Sierra Nevada foothills approximately 90 miles east of the <strong>District</strong> and 38 milesnortheast of Stockton. Pardee Reservoir has a storage capacity of 197,950 acre-feet.Camanche Reservoir. Camanche Reservoir is located ten miles below Pardee Reservoir on theMokelumne River. Camanche Reservoir has a capacity of 417,120 acre-feet and serves to control floodsand to regulate the river flow in order to satisfy downstream water rights.Terminal Reservoirs. Five terminal reservoirs are located within the <strong>District</strong>’s service area: SanPablo (with a capacity of 38,600 acre-feet), Briones (with a capacity of 60,510 acre-feet), Lafayette (witha capacity of 4,250 acre-feet), Upper San Leandro (with a capacity of 37,960 acre-feet) and Chabot (witha capacity of 10,350 acre-feet), provide usable storage of approximately 151,670 acre-feet.Aqueducts. Raw untreated water is transported 91.5 miles from Pardee Reservoir, through thePardee Tunnel, the Mokelumne Aqueducts and the Lafayette Aqueducts, to the <strong>District</strong>’s service area,where it is stored in terminal reservoirs or delivered directly to treatment plants prior to distribution. ThePardee Tunnel is an 8-foot high horseshoe structure 2.2 miles long. The three Mokelumne Aqueductshave a combined capacity of 200 MGD under gravity flow, and approximately 325 MGD with existingpumping facilities. The first Mokelumne Aqueduct is 5-feet, 5-inches in diameter, the second is 5-feet,7-inches in diameter, and the third is 7-feet, 3-inches in diameter. All are steel pipelines extending 81miles from the Pardee Tunnel to the east end of the two Lafayette Aqueducts in Walnut Creek.Approximately nine miles of pipeline is above-ground and the balance is below-ground.Lafayette Aqueduct No. 1 is a 9-foot in diameter circular concrete pipe and three tunnels thatextend 7.1 miles from Walnut Creek to the Orinda Filter Plant. Lafayette Aqueduct No. 2 is a 9-foot indiameter concrete pipe with seven tunnels extending 7.3 miles from the Walnut Creek Water TreatmentPlant to the Briones Diversion Works near Orinda. The supply is then pumped (or diverted) through the7-foot, 6-inch diameter steel Briones Aqueduct into Briones Reservoir, discharged into San PabloReservoir, or diverted through the 7-foot, 6-inch diameter steel Orinda Raw Water Line to Orinda FilterPlant. Either or both Lafayette Aqueducts can be used to divert Mokelumne River water from Pardeedirectly or indirectly to all of the <strong>District</strong>’s water treatment plants.The Mokelumne Aqueducts cross the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta for about fifteen miles andare protected by 51 miles of levees maintained by five reclamation districts governing Lower Roberts andWoodward Islands, Orwood and Palm, Upper Jones, and Lower Jones Tracts. The <strong>District</strong> has establisheda multi-pronged approach to protect the aqueducts from flooding and to recover from failures. Thesestrategies include levee strengthening, aqueduct interconnections, and standby materials and supplies torespond to an emergency.The <strong>District</strong> worked with the five reclamation districts to obtain $33.5 million in funding forlevee strengthening and to purchase emergency supplies and the <strong>District</strong> provided the $6 million localcost share. This funding is being used to bring forty-one miles of levees, adjacent to the MokelumneAqueducts, up to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers standards and to purchase materials and supplies tofacilitate emergency response. These levee improvements substantially improve the stability of the leveesand help protect the <strong>District</strong>’s water supply and the region’s agriculture, cultural, and historical resources,as well as the ecosystems in the Delta.At a cost of $14 million, the <strong>District</strong> is also constructing interconnections to the three MokelumneAqueducts on each side of the Delta. This will allow the <strong>District</strong> to restore 77% of the raw water systemcapacity with only one pipe in operation across the Delta. The <strong>District</strong> has six months of storage locally to81277574.3 A-16


serve its customers during an outage of the raw water system resulting from a failure in the Delta. Thiswill bolster the resilience of the <strong>District</strong>’s water supply system by enabling a rapid return to service after afailure with sufficient capacity to meet customer needs and begin to recover local storage.Tunnels. Untreated water from San Pablo Reservoir is delivered to Sobrante Treatment Plantthrough a 5-foot, 6-inch diameter steel pipe; water from the Upper San Leandro Reservoir is delivered tothe Upper San Leandro Treatment Plant through a 1.35 mile, 6-foot, 6-inch diameter horseshoe tunnel.The San Pablo Tunnel is 5-feet in diameter and can carry water 2.57 miles from the San Pablo Reservoirto the standby San Pablo Water Treatment Plant.Raw Water Pumping Plants. The majority of the Water System is gravity-fed, with seasonalpumping. Walnut Creek No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 Pumping Plants increase the capacities of the MokelumneAqueducts. When operating, these three pumping plants increase the combined capacity of the aqueductsto approximately 325 MGD. The Moraga Pumping Plant and Aqueduct supply water from the LafayetteAqueducts to Upper San Leandro Reservoir. The plant’s four pumps have a combined delivery capacityof 105 MGD; however, the configuration of the existing outlet works limits delivery to a maximum rateof 58 MGD. The Moraga aqueduct is six miles of 5.5-foot, 5-foot and 4-foot diameter steel and concretepipe between Lafayette and the Upper San Leandro Reservoir near Moraga. The Briones Pumping Plantand Aqueduct were placed in service following completion of Briones Reservoir. These facilities supplyBriones Reservoir with Mokelumne River water. The four pumps in the Briones No. 2 Pumping Plant candeliver up to a total of 60 MGD.Treatment Plants. Water delivered to the <strong>District</strong>’s customers is first treated at one ofsix treatment plants. The six water treatment plants in the <strong>District</strong>’s Water System are capable of filteringand processing a combined total of approximately 415 MGD. The water treatment plants are Upper SanLeandro in Oakland, San Pablo in Kensington (standby only), Sobrante in El Sobrante, and plants locatedin and named for Orinda, Lafayette and Walnut Creek. Orinda Water Treatment Plant is the largest, with apeak capacity of 200 MGD.Distribution Facilities. From the Orinda Water Treatment Plant treated water is carried 3.41miles through the Claremont Tunnel, a 9-foot diameter horseshoe bore to three distribution aqueducts.The water distribution network includes over 4,100 miles of pipe, 132 pumping plants and 171neighborhood reservoirs (including approximately 143 above-ground concrete or steel reservoirs), havingan operating capacity of 636 million gallons. The <strong>District</strong>’s service area is divided into 124 pressurezones, ranging in elevation from sea level to 1,450 feet. About 60% of treated water is distributed tocustomers by gravity flow.Pardee and Camanche Power Plants. The <strong>District</strong> operates hydropower plants at Pardee andCamanche Reservoirs pursuant to a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) license. The<strong>District</strong>’s Pardee and Camanche hydropower plants are licensed as one project, the Lower MokelumneRiver Hydroelectric Project No. 2916. The current FERC license for these hydropower plants expires onMarch 31, 2031. These plants generate 185 million kilowatt hours of electricity in normal rainfall years.Other than a small amount of power being used at the <strong>District</strong> facilities at Pardee and Camanche, thepower produced is currently being sold by the <strong>District</strong> to the Sacramento <strong>Municipal</strong> <strong>Utility</strong> <strong>District</strong>. See“WATER SYSTEM FINANCES – Sources of Funds.”Regional Intertie. In 2007, the <strong>District</strong>, the City of Hayward (“Hayward”) and SFPUC completedan intertie to allow for 30 MGD of water to be conveyed between the <strong>District</strong> and SFPUC water systemsvia Hayward’s distribution system. This project, which was funded by the participating agencies and theState of California through a Proposition 50 grant, provides the <strong>District</strong> and neighboring agenciesincreased flexibility to provide water throughout the region during an emergency. The intertie allowssharing of water among the parties during emergencies or planned critical work on facilities that would be81277574.3 A-17


difficult to remove from service without an alternative water source. The project consisted primarily ofimprovements within Hayward’s water system, although there were associated minor improvements inthe <strong>District</strong> and SFPUC systems.Water Supply OperationsGeneral. As described above, the <strong>District</strong>’s water supply system consists of an integrated networkof reservoirs, aqueducts, raw water pumping plants, treatment plants, and distribution facilities that extendfrom its principal water source, the Mokelumne River watershed basin in the Sierra Nevada range, acrossthe San Francisco <strong>Bay</strong> – San Joaquin Delta, to the <strong>East</strong> San Francisco <strong>Bay</strong> Area. Set forth below is alocation map depicting the <strong>District</strong>’s water supply system facilities.[REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.]81277574.3 A-18

Streamflow from the Mokelumne River is collected and stored in the <strong>District</strong>’s Pardee andCamanche Reservoirs, located in the Sierra foothills. Raw water from Pardee Reservoir is transported tothe <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> terminal reservoirs and treatment plants through the Pardee Tunnel, the three MokelumneAqueducts, and the Lafayette Aqueducts. The raw water is treated at one of the <strong>District</strong>’s treatment plantsbefore being delivered to customers.The <strong>District</strong> operates the water system to achieve multiple objectives. These objectives are toprovide municipal water supply benefits, stream flow regulation, fishery/public trust interests, floodcontrol, temperature management and obligations to downstream diverters. All of the components of thesystem, including Pardee and Camanche Reservoirs, the Mokelumne Aqueducts, and the <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong>terminal reservoirs are interdependent; for this reason, the <strong>District</strong> develops an annual operations plan forthe entire water supply system. The annual water supply operations plan includes scheduled operationsfrom April through September and identifies all <strong>District</strong> requirements.The <strong>District</strong> plans its operations according to three projections: the California Department ofWater Resources (“CDWR”) April 1st Water Supply Forecast, the <strong>District</strong>’s End of September (the end ofthe Water Year) projected total system storage, and the <strong>District</strong>’s projected November 5th combinedstorage for Pardee and Camanche Reservoirs. Reservoir storage levels are required to be reduced byNovember 5th of each year to maintain the minimum level of available capacity necessary for floodcontrol purposes. The projected November 5th combined storage for Pardee and Camanche is alsoutilized in determining the required releases for fish flows for the October through March period eachyear. The <strong>District</strong> monitors projections throughout the year and adjusts reservoir operations, as conditionschange, to meet its goals, objectives and requirements.The <strong>District</strong> begins the Water Year by committing to provide the required minimum fish flows,associated with the projected November 5th storage levels for Pardee and Camanche Reservoirs, for theperiod October through March. Through fall and winter, the <strong>District</strong> continues to track rainfall, runoff,storage and demand to reassess reservoir operations as needed. By April, the <strong>District</strong> has a goodindication of projected storage conditions for End-of-September total system storage, and November 5thPardee and Camanche reservoir storage.On April 1 st of each year, CDWR publishes its snow survey water supply forecast of runoff forthe Mokelumne River. The <strong>District</strong> uses the forecast to develop its Annual Water Supply Operations Plan,in which it schedules operations to meet all requirements according to the forecast for the period Aprilthrough September. Scheduled operations include Camanche Reservoir releases in accordance with theprescribed flow requirements. As required by the <strong>District</strong>’s Water Supply Availability and DeficiencyPolicy, the <strong>District</strong> Board is informed of the forecasted water supply condition for the end of the WaterYear on September 30th. The September 30th storage forecast is used to determine if droughtmanagement measures will need to be implemented to reduce demand to ensure sufficient carryoverstorage for the following year. If dry year conditions exist (i.e., projected total system storage onSeptember 30th is less than 500,000 acre-feet), the Board will typically consider implementing demandmanagement measures for the rest of the Water Year if the projected storage is significantly below500,000 acre-feet. Projected end of September storage is required to be less than 500,000 acre-feet for the<strong>District</strong> to be able to utilize the supplemental supply made available under the Long-Term Renewal CVPContract.The following graph shows historical end of September storage from 1965 to 2011. As shown onthe below graph, the driest period for the <strong>District</strong> was 1976 to 1977. The longest dry period during suchtime frame was the extended drought from 1987 to 1992.81277574.3 A-20


Set forth below is a graph depicting the total Water System demand for each Water Year from1965 to 2011.81277574.3 A-21


In dry periods, the <strong>District</strong> first relies on storage to meet demands. The <strong>District</strong> was able toprovide water to its customers during the 1976-1977 drought, and during the extended five year droughtfrom 1987 to 1992 without supplemental supply, by relying on available storage. In future dry periods,the <strong>District</strong> will first rely on storage to meet demands. If there are two dry years in a row, then the <strong>District</strong>would rely on its supplemental supply from the FRWP, which was completed in 2011. With thecompletion of the FRWP, the <strong>District</strong> can take up to 165,000 acre-feet of water under its Long-TermRenewal CVP Contract over a three-year period as described herein. See “– Water Supply – United StatesBureau of Reclamation Central Valley Project Contract; Freeport Regional Water Project.”Current Water Conditions. The <strong>District</strong> began Water Year 2013, which commenced onOctober 1, 2012, with 570,900 acre-feet in storage. Following a dry Water Year 2012 season, thecombined Pardee and Camanche Reservoir storage on November 5, 2012 was 439,540 acre-feet, which is20,700 acre-feet below the maximum allowable level.Mokelumne River runoff for Water Year 2012, which ended on September 30, 2012, wasapproximately 420,400 acre-feet or 56% of the long-term average of 745,000 acre-feet. Although WaterYear 2012 was the tenth driest on record for precipitation, total Water System storage, as ofOctober 1, 2012, the start of Water Year 2013, was 74% of capacity or 99% of average.The table below sets forth the capacity and water storage levels at the <strong>District</strong>’s water reservoirsas of December 1, 2012.Table 3DISTRICT WATER RESERVOIRSCurrent Capacity and Storage LevelsData as of December 1, 2012Capacity(acre-feet)CurrentStorage(acre-feet)% ofCapacity% ofAverageMokelumnePardee 197,950 186,360 94% 111%Camanche 417,120 254,580 61 100Total Mokelumne 615,070 440,940 72 104Terminal ReservoirsBriones 60,510 58,870 97 112Upper San Leandro 37,960 29,980 79 120San Pablo 38,600 23,870 62 91Chabot 10,350 7,210 70 87Lafayette 4,250 3,810 90 108Total Terminal Reservoirs 151,670 123,740 82 107Total System Storage 766,740 564,680 74 105____________________Source: <strong>District</strong> Water Operations Department.81277574.3 A-22


Water Quality and TreatmentFederal and State regulatory agencies continually monitor and establish new water qualitystandards. New water quality standards could affect availability of water and impose compliance costs onthe <strong>District</strong>. The federal Safe Drinking Water Act (“SDWA) establishes drinking water quality standards,monitoring, public notification and enforcement requirements for public water systems. To achieve theseobjectives, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”), as the lead regulatoryauthority, promulgates national drinking water regulations and develops the mechanism for individualstates to assume primary enforcement responsibilities. The California Department of Public Health(“CDPH”), formerly known as the Department of Health Services, has lead authority over Californiawater agencies.Currently, the State and the federal government regulate over 100 potential contaminants.Because the <strong>District</strong>’s water supply comes primarily from a remote, semi-protected watershed, the rawwater requires minimal treatment to meet or surpass all health and aesthetic standards. The <strong>District</strong>’sdrinking water is sampled and tested on an ongoing basis from all parts of the Water System to ensurethat it meets or surpasses all primary (health related) and secondary (aesthetic) regulatory standardsestablished by the EPA and the CDPH. Test results on the <strong>District</strong>’s water consistently show thatregulated constituents of drinking water either are not detected at all, or they are present in amounts farbelow limits permitted by State and federal drinking water standards.The <strong>District</strong> is actively involved with professional organizations at the federal and State levelsrelated to water quality, including the American Water Works Association, the Association of CaliforniaWater Agencies and the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies. The <strong>District</strong> serves on technicaladvisory committees that interact with the Environmental Protection Agency during regulatorydevelopment or alteration, and recently worked with the EPA on updates to the Total Coliform Rule. Inaddition to working with the EPA, the <strong>District</strong> has developed its own water quality initiatives, includingdeveloping state and federal legislation to limit lead levels in household plumbing fixtures. The <strong>District</strong>also sits on national standards organizations which set standards for all aspects of water quality. The<strong>District</strong> was a founding member of the Water Research Foundation (“WRF”) and actively participates inresearch projects; with the WRF, the <strong>District</strong> participates on numerous project advisory committees andcarries out funded research.Statewide Water IssuesThere has been substantial attention at the State and federal level on restoring the San Francisco<strong>Bay</strong>/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary (the “<strong>Bay</strong> Delta”). Processes to achieve this end and therecommendations of agencies charged with this “Delta Fix” have been very controversial. The twoprimary proceedings are the Delta Plan and the <strong>Bay</strong> Delta Conservation Plan (the “BDCP”).CDWR is leading the development of the BDCP to meet the requirements of the federal and StateEndangered Species Acts in the operation of the export projects in the Delta. The BDCP is best known asthe process through which new water conveyance would be built to divert Sacramento River water into atunnel system or canal that would bypass the Delta (previously proposed as the “Peripheral Canal” andmost recently as twin tunnels that would follow a fairly direct alignment between several intake facilitieson the Sacramento River and south to the Clifton Court Forebay). Numerous export water users areseeking permits through this process, which will also incorporate ecosystem restoration measures amongthe permit conditions. Governor Jerry Brown proposed a redesigned, downsized facility (from 15,000 cfsto 9,000 cfs) in July 2012, and the State later revised the schedule for completion of the draft BDCP, with81277574.3 A-23


the release of draft environmental impact documents expected in the spring of 2013 and a finalenvironmental impact report/statement later in the summer of 2013.The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Reform Act of 2009 (the “Delta Reform Act”), which becamelaw on November 12, 2009, established the Delta Stewardship Council tasked with developing acomprehensive, long-term management plan for the Delta, known as the “Delta Plan.” The Delta Plan isintended to implement the State’s co-equal goals of providing a more reliable water supply for Californiaand protecting, restoring, and enhancing the Delta ecosystem. Pursuant to the Delta Reform Act, the DeltaStewardship Council was tasked with the development of the Delta Plan. A final draft of the Delta Planwas released by the Delta Stewardship Council in May 2012.The <strong>District</strong>’s water rights are not directly affected by these proceedings but the <strong>District</strong> hasactively followed and commented on these plans for several reasons:• the <strong>District</strong>’s fishery restoration efforts on the Mokelumne could be impacted by restorationand or conveyance components of the BDCP;• the <strong>District</strong>’s aqueducts cross the Delta and are protected by miles of levees which the<strong>District</strong> believes should continue to be maintained as part of any “Delta Fix”;• the BDCP process will likely result in new flow requirements for the State and federalpumping facilities and the <strong>District</strong> does not believe that these requirements should have aripple effect on upstream water users relative to Delta outflows; and• the <strong>District</strong> is interested in ensuring that its ratepayers are not required to subsidize BDCPconveyance and mitigation costs which it believes only benefit the State and federal watercontractors who receive water pumped from the South Delta.Another proceeding of significance to the Delta is the update to be conducted by the SWRCB onits Water Quality Control Plan. On January 24, 2012, the SWRCB published a Supplemental Notice ofPreparation announcing its intention to review the 2006 WQCP for the <strong>Bay</strong> Delta. The WQCP sets flowstandards and other water quality objectives that must be met to protect beneficial uses. The Notice ofPreparation also provided that the SWRCB will prepare a substitute environmental document to evaluatepotential modifications to current, and the establishment of new, objectives for the WQCP. The SWRCBalso plans to approve a program of implementation that would modify water rights to help meet WQCPobjectives. The new or revised objectives and program of implementation will have regulatory effectwhen implemented. The program of implementation, which will occur over a series of years, may addressflow requirements for the Mokelumne River, Sacramento River, and San Joaquin River and tributariesthereto.Climate ChangeGlobal climate change is expected to create greater uncertainty in water supplies and demands inthe future. The <strong>District</strong> has developed mitigation and adaptation strategies to deal with the changingclimate and its effect on water resources. In 2008, the <strong>District</strong> incorporated climate change into itsStrategic Plan, and has developed and implemented a climate change monitoring and response plan toinform future water supply, water quality, and infrastructure planning.The <strong>District</strong>’s response to climate change focuses on:• keeping current with science and assessing potential effects of climate change in theMokelumne and <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> watersheds;• determining water supply and infrastructure vulnerabilities;81277574.3 A-24


Seismic Matters• monitoring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by the <strong>District</strong>’s operations;• integrating climate change in strategic planning and budgeting decisions;• advocating for new legislation and regulations that help water and wastewater agenciesbetter respond to climate change; and• developing adaptation and mitigation strategies as part of a water supply managementprogram.The <strong>District</strong>’s service area is in a seismically active region of the State. The Hayward Fault runsthrough the entire western portion of the <strong>District</strong> and the Calaveras Fault runs through the southeasternportion of the <strong>District</strong>’s service area. The Concord and Mt. Diablo Thrust Faults are located close to theeast side of the <strong>District</strong>’s service area and the San Andreas Fault is located to the west. The Pardee andCamanche Dams and the <strong>District</strong>’s three aqueducts which carry water from Pardee Reservoir to the<strong>District</strong>’s service area are in other active earthquake fault areas. Although the <strong>District</strong> has not experiencedsignificant earthquake-related damage to its facilities, the <strong>District</strong>’s Water System and/or its water supplycould be adversely affected by a major local earthquake impacting the <strong>District</strong>’s service area, or byearthquake damage to the Pardee or the Camanche Dams or the aqueducts delivering water to the<strong>District</strong>’s service area.A magnitude 6.8 to 7.0 earthquake on the Hayward Fault is likely within the next few decadesaccording to the United States Geological Survey. A 1994 seismic study prepared for the <strong>District</strong>examined the likely effects on the <strong>District</strong>’s existing local water system at that time of earthquakes on theHayward Fault, the Calaveras Fault and the Concord Fault. The study concluded that, in the event of amagnitude 7.0 earthquake on the Hayward Fault, the <strong>District</strong> would likely experience major damage tothe water transmission tunnels, substantial damage to distribution pipes, damage to potable waterreservoirs and operational disruptions of the <strong>District</strong>’s pumping plants, rate control stations and watertreatment plants. The <strong>District</strong> also would likely experience significant damage in connection with a lessermagnitude earthquake on the Hayward Fault or an earthquake on the Calaveras or Concord Faults. Ifdamage to the Claremont tunnel made it unusable, severe water rationing would be required in thewestern portion of the <strong>District</strong> during the estimated 26-week repair period. Further, in the event of severeearthquake damage to the <strong>District</strong>’s Mokelumne Aqueducts, which carry water from Pardee Reservoir tothe <strong>District</strong>’s service area, it was determined repair efforts could take up to one year before water could betransported again to the <strong>District</strong>’s terminal reservoirs. This would necessitate stringent customerconservation, as the <strong>District</strong>’s terminal reservoirs store roughly six months’ supply under normalconsumption patterns. A major earthquake could also have a severe adverse impact on the economy of the<strong>District</strong>’s service area.In response to the 1994 seismic study, the <strong>District</strong> initiated a multi-year Water System SeismicImprovement Program and by 2007, the <strong>District</strong> substantially completed a $200 million SeismicImprovement Program (the “SIP”), which focused on improving seismic performance of the distributionsystems and facilities and better enabling the <strong>District</strong> to provide post-earthquake water service. The SIPincluded upgrades to 70 reservoirs, 130 pumping plants, six water treatment plants, three maintenanceyards, the Administration Building and various electrical equipment anchorages throughout the <strong>District</strong>,as well as the completion of an alternate transmission pipeline, the Southern Loop; the completion of afault-line by-pass for the primary transmission line, the Claremont Tunnel; and seismic upgrades ofMokelumne Aqueduct No. 3, which is the aqueduct most relied on by the <strong>District</strong> to carry water across 15miles of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.Key projects within the SIP include:81277574.3 A-25


Southern Loop Pipeline. The Oakland-Berkeley hills divide the <strong>District</strong>’s service area into twowater distribution areas, west-of-hills and east-of-hills. The Southern Loop Pipeline is an 11-mile longemergency transmission pipeline that provides an alternate water supply route after a major earthquake.The Southern Loop connects San Ramon and Castro Valley to create a loop at the southern ends of thewater distribution system. This benefits customers by providing increased system redundancy, flexibilityand reliability in the <strong>District</strong>’s transmission system across the Hayward Fault.Claremont Tunnel Seismic Improvement Project. This project upgraded the Claremont Tunnel, avital transmission facility providing service to 800,000 customers west of the Oakland-Berkeley Hills.This tunnel crosses the Hayward Fault and seismic analysis had suggested that in a magnitude 7.0earthquake the tunnel would be damaged and most likely be out of service for up to six months for tunnelrepairs, resulting in severe water rationing and reduced supplies for firefighting. The facility upgrade,completed in March 2007, consisted of a new 1,501-foot bypass tunnel to replace a vulnerable portion ofthe tunnel through the Hayward Fault zone as well as repair and reinforcement of other areas. Theupgraded tunnel affords <strong>District</strong> customers substantially enhanced post-earthquake reliability.Mokelumne Aqueduct No. 3 Seismic Upgrade Project. This project involved seismicallyretrofitting Mokelumne Aqueduct No. 3, the <strong>District</strong>’s largest aqueduct, at a cost of approximately $40million, to improve its ability to withstand a maximum credible seismic event.Building Structure Seismic Improvement Project. The Building Structure Seismic ImprovementProject retrofitted occupied <strong>District</strong> buildings, including, but not limited to, the upgrade of theAdministration Building to meet life safety performance goals and to ensure availability of facilities forpost-earthquake operation.Reservoir Seismic Upgrades Project. The Reservoir Seismic Upgrades Project addressed seismicrisks to 70 distribution tanks to assure continued water storage following an earthquake and mitigate therisks to life safety that would result from tank failure. Other accomplishments include the completion oflandslide mitigations and the installation of seismic isolation valves at reservoirs and valve pit roofanchorages.The SIP improvements collectively will allow the <strong>District</strong> to meet its service restoration goal ofproviding water service to 70% of its customers within ten days after a major seismic event. The <strong>District</strong>continues to enhance seismic safety as part of its comprehensive capital improvement project planningprocess (discussed under “– Capital Improvement Program” below). That process has to date resulted inmajor seismic upgrades, such as a $76 million seismic upgrade to the dam at the largest of the local waterstorage reservoirs, San Pablo Reservoir, which was completed in 2010, and the integration of seismicupgrades into ongoing facility renewal work.Despite the completed and continuing seismic work, in the event of significant earthquakedamage to the Water System and/or the <strong>District</strong>’s service area, there can be no assurance thatSubordinated Water Revenues would be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on any outstandingWater System Revenue Bonds.Security and Emergency PreparednessThe <strong>District</strong> has implemented a security and emergency preparedness program that includes aSecurity Operations Control Center (the “SOCC”) that is staffed seven days a week, 24 hours a day. TheSOCC houses a proprietary centralized security system to monitor access controls, digital video camerasand recorders, and security alarms; which include supervisory control and data acquisition (“SCADA”)alarms related to entry points and critical water distribution system hatches. The dispatchers at the SOCCmonitor alarms, assess conditions using a closed circuit television system, and dispatch security and law81277574.3 A-26


enforcement response as needed for alarms and reports of suspicious circumstances or crimes at <strong>District</strong>facilities. In addition, the <strong>District</strong> maintains access controls for its water and wastewater treatment,administrative and maintenance facilities, its storage yards and service centers, and the reservoirs andpumping plants in its water distribution system. <strong>District</strong> security includes an internal security staff andsecurity contracts, and both units patrol the <strong>District</strong>’s critical infrastructure and key resource facilitiesfrom the foothills in the Sierra Mountains to the San Francisco <strong>Bay</strong>. Contract security officers are alsoused to supplement automated access controls at certain key facilities.In order to address emergency response by the <strong>District</strong>, the <strong>District</strong> has an established EmergencyOperations Plan. Pursuant to the <strong>District</strong>’s Emergency Operations Plan, <strong>District</strong> employees are sworndisaster services workers, and staff is trained to use the State Office of Emergency Services StandardizedEmergency Management System (SEMS) in response to emergencies and security incidents. As part of itsEmergency Operations Plan, the <strong>District</strong> maintains two strategically located emergency operations centersand a mobile emergency command center, and has in place an emergency operations team to leademergency response activities. The <strong>District</strong> also has adopted business continuity plans to ensure the<strong>District</strong>’s ability to respond to, work through and recover from any emergency or other event that disruptsits normal business functions.InsuranceThe <strong>District</strong> uses a combination of self-funding/self-insuring and insurance coverage in the<strong>District</strong>’s risk management program. The program provides protection for the <strong>District</strong>’s buildings andfacilities, including their contents and equipment, from fire, explosion and related perils, including flood.The <strong>District</strong>’s insurance program does not currently include earthquake coverage. The <strong>District</strong> selfinsuresfor liability claims up to $10 million for bodily injury and property damage that may arise fromthe <strong>District</strong>’s operations, including but not limited to use of its property, facilities, or vehicles. The<strong>District</strong> also maintains fidelity protection against fraudulent acts of employees.The <strong>District</strong> maintains a reserve of approximately $10 million that is earmarked to pay bothliability and workers’ compensation claims. Selected insurance coverages include the following:– $90 million of commercial general and automobile liability insurance, subject to a $10million self-insured retention for the Water System and the Wastewater System;– Statutory limits of excess workers’ compensation coverage, subject to a $5 million selfinsuredretention for the Water System and the Wastewater System;– $200 million in coverage for <strong>District</strong> all risk property insurance, excluding coverage forunderground pipes, earthquake and flood, subject to a $500,000 deductible;– $25 million in coverage for flood perils, subject to a $1.5 million deductible peroccurrence;– $10 million in coverage for boiler and machinery insurance, subject to a $25,000deductible (except for Pardee Dam, Camanche Dam and the Main Wastewater TreatmentPlant, for which a $50,000 deductible applies); and– $10 million in coverage for crime insurance, subject to a $25,000 deductible.81277574.3 A-27


Capital Improvement ProgramThe <strong>District</strong>’s biennial planning process includes an update of facilities needs for the ensuing fivefiscal years. A series of master plans document needs by specific asset classes (such as pipes, reservoirsand other assets). The master plans include assessments of key facilities, considering engineeringcondition assessments as well as operational performance and maintenance histories. Facilities in need ofrehabilitation or replacement are identified and prioritized. Project scopes are also defined (for example,replacement of aging mechanical or electrical gear, seismic upgrades, or other defined scopes).The results of the master plans are considered during the biennial update to the CapitalImprovement Program (the “CIP”). The last CIP update was completed in 2011 and included a five-yearcapital expenditure forecast for Fiscal Years 2012 through 2016. The next biennial plan will be completedin 2013 and will include a five-year capital expenditure forecast for Fiscal Years 2014 through 2018.Based upon the <strong>District</strong>’s five-year capital expenditures forecast for Fiscal Years 2012 through 2016 and<strong>District</strong> staff’s current projections for capital needs for Fiscal Year 2017, the <strong>District</strong> projects cashexpenditures for capital improvements to the Water System for the current and next four Fiscal Years(Fiscal Years 2013 through 2017) to aggregate approximately $1.079 billion for improvements to theWater System.The current five-year capital plan includes the following major programs and projects:System Extensions and Improvements. System extensions and improvements provide service tonew customers and/or improve service to existing customers. These projects include: (i) improvements inoperations networking and mapping capabilities, (ii) the pressure zone improvements program, and(iii) the water treatment and transmission improvements program, each as described below.Operations network and mapping improvements involve continued improvements to the <strong>District</strong>’scontrol systems for water operations and the operations of the <strong>District</strong>’s pumping plants. The benefits ofthe program include maintaining efficient and reliable operation of the Water System, optimizing energycost savings for pumping plants and improving response to disasters and outage planning.The pressure zone improvements program includes the continued upgrade and improvements tothe <strong>District</strong>’s 124 pressure zones that include upgrading or replacing reservoirs, pumping plants andtransmission systems to improve storage, pumping and/or water quality. These improvements includereplacement reservoirs in Berkeley and Oakland, and numerous transmission improvements in areas westof the Berkeley hills.The water treatment and transmission improvements program includes new facilities, as well asupgrades to existing facilities. The improvements will allow the <strong>District</strong> to more efficiently meet currentand future regulatory standards related to source and treated water quality, to comply with environmentalpermit conditions and to maintain reliability of existing facilities. The program includes near-termelements such as a new Highland Reservoir in Lafayette (recently completed), the addition of new filtersat the Walnut Creek Treatment Plant (recently completed), and a new pumping station and pipeline inOrinda (in design), as well as longer-term elements to improve storage, pumping and treatment facilities.Maintaining Infrastructure. These programs focus on replacement or rehabilitation of <strong>District</strong>facilities to ensure continued reliable performance. The <strong>District</strong>’s inventory of 4,100 miles of distributionpipe is managed to maintain reliable service and a leak rate that is consistent with industry standards. Thisinvolves scheduling pipe for renewal based on several factors including leak history. Included within thisprogram is the ongoing evaluation of various pipe materials and their performance over time; forexample, the performance of asbestos cement pipe is currently being evaluated. In Fiscal Year 2012, ninemiles of pipe, consisting mostly of older cast iron pipe, were replaced out of 4,100 total miles, comprised81277574.3 A-28


of various materials. In Fiscal Year 2013, 10 miles are planned. Additional pipeline installation isperformed as needed to serve new customers, and to relocate existing pipelines to accommodate work ofother agencies. The costs of some of those relocations are reimbursed by other agencies, and the costs ofothers are borne by the <strong>District</strong>.Appurtenances such as service laterals, hydrants and meters are also managed such that devicesare installed to accommodate new service connections, and existing appurtenances are replaced at the endof their useful life. One focus area for several years has been cost-effective replacement of defectivepolybutylene service laterals. As of June 30, 2012, over half of the estimated 64,300 polybutylene lateralshave been replaced.Major facilities such as reservoirs, pumping plants, and rate control stations are addressed in theCIP, based on the master planning process described earlier. For example, each year on average three ofthe <strong>District</strong>’s 80 steel reservoirs are recoated in order to prevent corrosion and thereby extend the life ofthe facilities. In general, the projects address structural integrity, worker safety, operational reliability,regulatory requirements and water quality issues. Recent and ongoing projects include the replacement ofthe Schapiro Reservoir in Richmond, the replacement of South Reservoir in Castro Valley and thereplacement of Estates Reservoir in Piedmont.Facilities, Services & Equipment. The facilities, services and equipment projects provide for therenovation of existing facilities to improve public and/or employee safety, and provide upgrades to majorinformation systems. A primary component of the facilities, services and equipment capital plan is thecommunications program, which involved replacement of the <strong>District</strong>’s 20 year-old CustomerInformation System to better meet the <strong>District</strong>’s billing, revenue collection and customer service needs.This project was completed in Fiscal Year 2012. Additional projects to be completed in the current fiveyearcapital plan include security improvements to numerous facilities, including a combination offencing, lighting, alarms, video monitors and access card readers. This program also includes funding forvehicle and construction equipment replacements of approximately $5.0 million a year.Regulatory Compliance. Regulatory compliance projects are designed to ensure compliance withall air, land and water discharge requirements, implement preventive and corrective maintenanceprograms, including dam safety improvements and modifications. The <strong>District</strong>’s dams frequently undergorequired State and federal dam safety inspections in addition to ongoing monitoring of the performance ofthe dams by the <strong>District</strong>. The <strong>District</strong> has implemented a dam safety program which includes a variety ofprojects to provide for upgrades to existing dams and associated critical facilities such as outlet towersand spillways to meet earthquake and flood safety requirements. One of the more significant projects inthis regard was San Pablo Dam, completed in 2010 at a cost of $76 million.Recent studies of Pardee and Camanche Dams for seismic and extreme flood events have beencompleted; the results indicate that both dams would perform satisfactorily in the event of a maximumcredible seismic event, which is estimated at magnitude 6.4. The study of the Camanche Dam didindicate, however, that some relief wells may be damaged in an earthquake, so the need for remedial workis being evaluated. Another dam safety project is under way for at Chabot Reservoir, a small terminalreservoir, to address concerns of slope instability in a maximum credible seismic event. Other plannedprojects in the dam safety area include modifications to outlet towers at four terminal reservoirs:Lafayette Reservoir, Upper San Leandro Reservoir, Chabot Reservoir, and Briones Reservoir.Water Supply. Water supply projects include those capital projects being undertaken infurtherance of the <strong>District</strong>’s objectives to ensure a reliable, high quality water supply for the future and topreserve current entitlements and obtain additional supplemental supplies, as well as conservation andrecycling projects designed to reduce the demand for potable water.81277574.3 A-29


The <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong>shore Recycled Water Project began recycled water service in Fiscal Year 2008 andwill ultimately supply up to 2.5 MGD of recycled water to portions of Alameda, Albany, Berkeley,Emeryville and Oakland for irrigation, industrial, commercial and environmental uses. Customer siteretrofits are ongoing. Pending funding availability, additional elements of the project will be completedand/or implemented in Fiscal Years 2013 through 2025.Included within the water supply capital programs is the aqueducts program, which involves thereplacement of cement lining in the Mokelumne Aqueducts. Design and construction of the relining ofMokelumne Aqueduct No. 3 across Upper Jones tract in the Delta began in Fiscal Year 2010 and wascompleted in Fiscal Year 2012. In Fiscal Years 2013 and 2014 relining of Mokelumne Aqueduct No. 3across Woodward Island and Orwood Tract is planned. Additionally, the seismic isolators on MokelumneNo. 3 are being examined and remedial work is being planned.Resource Management. Resource management projects involve improvements to theMokelumne River habitat and recreation areas and water quality on the watershed. These projects includeupgrades to campgrounds, docks and roadways in the <strong>District</strong>’s recreation areas, as well as theimprovements in site drainage and stormwater management to the <strong>District</strong>’s watershed lands to enhancewater quality, support customer needs and protect the environment.Water Quality. In the area of water quality, the <strong>District</strong> seeks to operate and maintain facilities tosurpass federal and state drinking water regulations and to make system improvements that meet orsurpass environmental and regulatory requirements. Projects include making improvements to reservoirsand water treatment plants to improve water quality. Examples include installation of mixing equipmentin reservoirs, installation of hydrogen peroxide controls systems at the Sobrante and Upper San LeandroTreatment Plants, and sludge processing improvements at the Walnut Creek Treatment Plant.Table 4 below summarizes the <strong>District</strong>’s Fiscal Years 2013 through 2017 projected CIP cashexpenditures by major category.Table 4Fiscal Years 2013-2017Capital Improvement ProgramForecast – Cash Expenditures(Millions)Fiscal Year ended June 302013 2014 2015 2016 2017 TotalExtensions/Improvements &Maintaining Infrastructure $107.403 $127.285 $133.391 $150.078 $170.659 $688.816Facilities, Services & Equipment 9.092 9.329 5.824 5.459 7.234 36.938Regulatory Compliance 5.547 13.802 12.990 10.460 18.565 61.364Water Supply 11.745 11.098 11.600 16.802 19.028 70.273Resource Management & Other 10.485 11.506 12.628 17.197 14.835 66.651Admin. & General Expense (1) 35.000 30.000 30.000 30.000 30.000 155.000Total $179.272 $203.020 $206.433 $229.996 $260.321 $1,079.042(1)Includes overhead, construction management and other administrative costs which are allocated to individual projects upontheir completion.Source: The <strong>District</strong>.The cost estimates are adjusted periodically and represent preliminary estimates at the time ofdevelopment of the capital plan for planning purposes only.

Enterprise funds are accounted for using theaccrual basis of accounting. The accounting policies of the <strong>District</strong> conform to generally acceptedaccounting principles for municipal water utilities. The accounts are maintained substantially inaccordance with the Uniform System of Accounts for Water Utilities prescribed for investor-owned andmajor municipally-owned water utilities.Sources of FundsThe Water System’s principal source of revenues is water sales. In Fiscal Year 2012,approximately 76.5% of the Water System’s $400.2 million in total sources of funds was provided fromwater sales. Sources of funds other than water sales include taxes, income from the sale of energy fromthe <strong>District</strong>’s hydroelectric power plants, investment income, and grants and contributions in aid ofconstruction. The <strong>District</strong>’s share of the county 1% property tax levy contributed approximately 5.8%, or$23.4 million of the total sources of funds. In Fiscal Year 2012, the Water System’s hydroelectric powerplants produced power revenues of approximately $4.6 million and the <strong>District</strong>’s income on investmentswas approximately $4.6 million. Contributions in aid of construction totaled $45.2 million, including$19.2 million of seismic surcharge collections, $16.1 million of system capacity charges collected duringsuch year (which excludes accumulated system capacity charge funds available to offset debt servicecosts for such Fiscal Year), $5.8 million of contributions for facility relocations, main extensions andservice installations, and $4.1 million of grants and other reimbursements.The following Table 6 sets forth the <strong>District</strong>’s Water System sources of funds for the five mostrecent Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2012. The sources of funds in the table below include certain fundswhich do not constitute Subordinated Water Revenues for purposes of the Indenture. Subordinated WaterRevenues include all charges received for, and all other income and receipts derived by the <strong>District</strong> from,the operation of the Water System or arising from the Water System, which includes, without limitation,the <strong>District</strong>’s water rates, system capacity charge and seismic surcharge, as well as investment income.Property taxes are applied to reduce Operation and Maintenance Costs and are not pledged to therepayment of the Water System Revenue Bonds.

Approximately 92% of the <strong>District</strong>’s accounts are residential, but because residentialconsumption per account is lower than for other customer types, residential sales account for only 60% ofconsumption. The <strong>District</strong>’s five largest customers are Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and its subsidiaries, ToscoRefinery, the University of California, the C&H Sugar Company and Golden Rain Foundation (Rossmoorretirement community).

The <strong>District</strong>’s water rate structure is based on a cost of service methodology by customer class.The rate structure consists of two elements: a monthly service charge and a commodity charge for waterdelivered. With the exception of single family residential customers, commodity charges for waterdelivered are based on a uniform volume rate. Single family residential customers are billed on a threetierinclining block rate structure.Table 9 shows the rate schedule effective July 1, 2012 for Fiscal Year 2013, which represents anaverage increase of 6.0% for residential customers from Fiscal Year 2012 rates. The monthly water billfor a typical residential account consuming 1,100 cubic feet (11 Ccf or 8,228 gallons) per month is$43.45.

Additional consumption by residentialcustomers is billed at $3.00 per Ccf for consumption between 173 and 393 gallons per day (16 Ccf) and $3.68 for all waterused in excess of 393 gallons per day. For a household using 11 Ccf, the water usage charge for the first 7 Ccf at the first tierrate of $2.42 per Ccf would be $16.94 and the water usage charge for the additional 4 Ccf at the second tier rate of $3.00 perCcf would be $12.00, for a total charge for water delivered of $28.94; the monthly service charge would be $12.23 and theseismic surcharge would include a $1.14 monthly meter charge component and a $1.14 water service availabilitycomponent, resulting in a total monthly bill of $43.45.(3)The water elevation surcharge provides for the increased power and facility costs needed to pump water to locations (zones)200 or more feet above sea level.Source: The <strong>District</strong>.Seismic SurchargeThe <strong>District</strong>’s seismic surcharge is a rate surcharge designed to recover costs of the SIP. See“THE WATER SYSTEM – Seismic Matters.” The basis for the charges is to: (i) provide fire flowavailability for real property after a seismic event; and (ii) provide continued water service to residential,commercial and industrial customers after a seismic event. The surcharge is collected as part of the water81277574.3 A-34


ill and was established for the period of May 1, 1996 through February 28, 2025. The surcharge is sizedto ensure that sufficient funds are available to fund construction of recommended seismic improvementswith allowance for inflation in construction costs and growth in customer base.For a typical residential customer in Fiscal Year 2013, the seismic surcharge consists of a$1.14/month meter charge for a typical 5/8” meter plus a charge of $1.14/month per single-familyresidential customer for water service availability. Outside of single-family and multi-family residentialcustomers, the water service availability component is based on the customer’s consumption and ischarged at a rate of $0.13 per 748 gallon billing unit due to the wide variation in water use by nonresidentialcustomers. The <strong>District</strong>’s Board annually reviews these charges and adjusts them as necessaryto ensure the seismic surcharge collected will meet all obligations of the program.Comparison of Annual Water Service ChargesTable 10 shows comparative average annual water service charges by various <strong>Bay</strong> Area wateragencies for a typical residential account with a 5/8-inch meter using 1,100 cubic feet of water (8,228gallons) per month.

Under the existing SCC policy, funds collected from SCCs are applied toward the costs of the<strong>District</strong>’s capital program for such facilities, and in the case of future water supply projects, to reimbursethe Water System for the payment of debt service on Water System Revenue Bonds issued to financesuch facilities.The SCC includes both a “buy-in” portion and a “future water supply” portion. The “buy-in”portion includes the costs of existing <strong>District</strong> storage, treatment and distribution facilities, as well asexisting water supply facilities (including reservoirs and aqueducts) and administration facilities. As the“buy-in” portion of the SCC, new accounts are charged for their share of the costs of these existing<strong>District</strong> facilities (escalated to current dollars). The “future water supply” portion of SCC receipts iscollected to fund the costs of additional facilities required to service new accounts. The “future watersupply” portion of SCC receipts when collected are deposited in the Future Water Supply Fund, asegregated account of the Revenue Fund, to be applied in future years to offset debt service costsattributable to SCC-related capital facilities. In Fiscal Year 2012, SCCs collected totaled $16.1 million(the “buy in” portion of $10.8 million and the “future water supply portion” of $5.3 million). As ofJune 30, 2012, the <strong>District</strong> had approximately $18.9 million of SCC revenues on deposit in the FutureWater Supply Fund.For purposes of the Indenture, the <strong>District</strong> has included in the SCC Revenues as shown in Table18 for Fiscal Years 2008 through 2012, the “buy in” portion of SCC charges when collected and the debtservice repayment component of the “future water supply” portion of SCC charges when applied from theFuture Water Supply Fund to offset debt service costs attributable to SCC-related capital facilities. ForFiscal Year 2012, the <strong>District</strong> recognized SCC Revenues of $30.7 million.For financial statement purposes, however, the <strong>District</strong> has elected to account for both the “buyin” portion of SCC charges when collected and the debt service repayment component of the SCC whenapplied as part of capital contributions. As a result, no SCC amounts are reflected as operating revenuesin the <strong>District</strong>’s financial statements.Due to the significant capital expenditures by the <strong>District</strong> on the FRWP and other capitalimprovements and the associated application of SCCs to the reimbursement of debt service and othercosts related thereto, the application of SCC funds to offset debt service increased significantly beginningin Fiscal Year 2010.81277574.3 A-36


Supplemental Supply ChargeAs described under “Water Supply – United States Bureau of Reclamation Central Valley ProjectContract; Freeport Regional Water Project,” in connection with the FRWP, the <strong>District</strong> adopted asupplemental supply charge of 14% of total water flow charges which may be added to customers’ waterbills during droughts when the Board declares a need to take deliveries of its CVP water under the Long-Term Renewal CVP Contract. The supplemental supply charge is designed to cover the costs of operatingthe FRWP and the costs of CVP water during dry year periods when the <strong>District</strong> takes deliveries of CVPwater.Prior to completion of the FRWP, during the 2008-09 drought, the <strong>District</strong> implemented specialdrought rate increases that included a 10% rate increase on water flow charges, a new surcharge for eachaccount’s water use allocation equal to $2.00 per Ccf of all water used in excess of the account’s wateruse allocation, and a new non-potable water use incentive rate. These rates were designed to encouragecustomers to reduce water use, to compensate for lost revenue due to reduced water use, and to funddrought management programs in the <strong>District</strong>. The drought surcharge was rescinded by the <strong>District</strong> as ofJuly 1, 2009 as drought conditions subsided.Property Tax RevenuesThe <strong>District</strong>’s share of the county 1% ad valorem property tax levy has provided approximately5% to 6% of total operating revenues of the Water System in each of the past five Fiscal Years for the<strong>District</strong> (after adjusting for one time nonrecurring receipts). The <strong>District</strong>’s share of the county 1% advalorem property tax is not pledged as a source of payment for the Water System Revenue Bonds,although such amounts are applied to pay Water Operation and Maintenance Costs in accordance with theIndenture.Table 12 shows a five-year record of assessed valuations, secured roll levies and delinquenciesfor the taxable property included within the <strong>District</strong>. Assessed valuations are expressed by countyassessors as “full cash value” as defined by Article XIIIA of the State Constitution. The tax levy shown isthe <strong>District</strong>’s allocated share of the maximum ad valorem tax levy by each county of 1% of full cashvalue. Pursuant to California Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 4701 et seq., Contra Costa County andAlameda County each maintain a reserve fund for the purpose of guaranteeing 100% of the secured leviesof the electing governmental jurisdictions for which such county collects taxes (commonly referred to as“The Teeter Plan”). The <strong>District</strong> has elected to participate in Contra Costa County’s Teeter Plan programbut has elected not to participate in Alameda County’s Teeter Plan program.

The State budgets for Fiscal Years 2003-04 and 2004-05 reallocated portions ofspecial districts’ shares of the countywide 1% ad valorem tax, shifting a portion of the property taxrevenues collected by the counties from special districts to school districts. The <strong>District</strong> has historically,since the 1970’s, applied its share of property tax revenues to fund the maintenance of fire protectioncapacity. As a result of legislation providing for an exemption from the property tax shift for funding fireprotection services and facilities, the <strong>District</strong> did not lose any property tax revenues allocable to the WaterSystem in Fiscal Years 2004 and 2005. Additionally, on November 2, 2004 voters within the Stateapproved Proposition 1A, which prevents the State from reducing local government’s share of the 1% advalorem property tax below current levels, except in the case of fiscal emergency. Proposition 1Aprovides that in the case of fiscal emergency, the State could borrow up to 8% of local property taxrevenues to be repaid within three years.The 2009-10 State budget provided for the borrowing of 8% of property taxes from localjurisdictions, including the <strong>District</strong>, under Proposition 1A. This borrowing resulted in a reduction ofapproximately $1.85 million from property tax revenues allocable to the Water System. As noted above,under Proposition 1A, the State was required to repay the property taxes with interest within three years.State legislation allowed the <strong>District</strong> to sell its right to receive this repayment to a joint powers authority,which sold bonds payable from the receivables it purchased from participating local jurisdictions. The<strong>District</strong> participated in this program in order to replace the lost property taxes at no cost to the <strong>District</strong>,and treated amounts received under the program as it would have treated the State borrowed property taxrevenues replaced thereby.81277574.3 A-38


There can be no assurances that future legislation or voter initiatives will not reduce or eliminatethe <strong>District</strong>’s share of the 1% county-wide ad valorem property tax revenues. See also“CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND APPROPRIATIONS.”The tax rolls for property located within the <strong>District</strong> Water System service area for the FiscalYear ended June 30, 2012, aggregated a total assessed valuation of approximately $175.7 billion,including redevelopment project areas incremental valuations of which the taxes payable were due to theredevelopment agency. In 2011, the State of California enacted legislation commonly referred to as“AB1X 26,” which required the dissolution of California redevelopment agencies and the dissolution andwinding up of the operations of those agencies, which dissolution occurred on February 1, 2012. AB1X26 provides a framework for the management of the remaining obligations of the dissolvedredevelopment agencies by their respective successor agencies and oversight boards to oversee thosesuccessor agencies. Pursuant to AB1X 26, tax increment will continue to flow to the payment of“enforceable obligations” (such as tax allocation bonds) of the dissolved redevelopment agencies.Power Sales RevenuesThe <strong>District</strong> operates hydropower plants at Pardee and Camanche Reservoirs. These plantsgenerate 185 million kilowatt hours of electricity in normal rainfall years. The power is sold to theSacramento <strong>Municipal</strong> <strong>Utility</strong> <strong>District</strong> under a 10-year power purchase agreement which expires in July2015. This power purchase agreement includes the sale of hydroelectric power, available capacity duringsummer months, and environmental attributes (i.e., credits, benefits, offsets, reductions or allowancesresulting from the generation of renewable energy). Annual revenues to the <strong>District</strong> from power saleshave ranged from approximately $3.1 million to $8.1 million over the last five fiscal years. Revenuesfrom power sales vary depending on power prices and the volume of water available for release from thereservoirs. The <strong>District</strong> currently budgets $5.7 million annually in hydropower revenue.Developer ContributionsCash contributions for main extension and other facilities to serve new customers depend on thelevel of development. In addition to collection of its SCC (as described under “System Capacity Charge”above), <strong>District</strong> policy requires new applicants for service to pay direct charges for mains, hydrants, andservices necessary to serve them. In Fiscal Year 2012, developer contributions collected for facilityrelocation charges, mains and hydrants and service installations totaled $5.8 million. These developercontributions are treated as capital contributions and are not included in Subordinated Water Revenues forpurposes of the Indenture.GrantsGrants are received for specific projects. In Fiscal Year 2012, $2.0 million was collected. The<strong>District</strong> also received $2.1 million in federal and State Disaster Relief funds in Fiscal Year 2012 primarilyto reimburse the <strong>District</strong> for damages resulting from a levee break in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Deltathat occurred in 2006 causing damage to the <strong>District</strong>’s Mokelumne Aqueducts. An aggregate amount of$9.1 million in grants and reimbursements is budgeted for Fiscal Years 2013 through 2017. Grants andreimbursements are treated as capital contributions and are not included in Subordinated Water Revenuesfor purposes of the Indenture.Operation and Maintenance CostsThe primary component of the <strong>District</strong>’s Operation and Maintenance Costs is labor costs,including wages, salaries and benefits. Operation and Maintenance Costs also include materials, supplies81277574.3 A-39


and services such as costs of chemicals for water treatment and electrical power, and other general andadministrative expenses.Outstanding DebtTable 13 shows the <strong>District</strong>’s Water System debt outstanding as of January 15, 2013. ByResolution No. 33606-07 adopted June 12, 2007, the Board declared its intention to issue up to$1,100,000,000 of Water System revenue bonds, of which $602,330,000 of such authorized amountremained unissued as of January 15, 2013. The <strong>District</strong> may from time to time in the future adopt otherresolutions authorizing the issuance of additional Water System Revenue Bonds and Parity Debt, subjectto the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Indenture. See “SECURITY FOR THE SERIES2009A-2 BONDS – Issuance of Additional Water System Revenue Bonds and Parity Debt; Junior andSubordinate Obligations.”Low-interest loans were made by the SWRCB and the CDWR to the <strong>District</strong> to finance certainwater reclamation and reuse facilities within the <strong>District</strong> to conserve fresh water supplies. See“SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2009A-2 BONDS – Outstanding Water System Revenue Obligations –State Loans.”Tax-exempt Extendable <strong>Municipal</strong> Commercial Paper Notes (Water Series) (“Water System CPNotes”) are issued by the <strong>District</strong> from time to time pursuant to Resolution No. 33705-09, whichauthorizes, as provided in the <strong>Municipal</strong> <strong>Utility</strong> <strong>District</strong> Act, a maximum outstanding principal amount ofnotes not exceeding the lesser of (1) the annual average of the <strong>District</strong>’s total revenue for the threepreceding years or (2) 25% of the <strong>District</strong>’s total outstanding bonds issued pursuant to Chapters 6, 7 and 8of the <strong>Municipal</strong> <strong>Utility</strong> <strong>District</strong> Act. As of January 15, 2013, $312,900,000 principal amount of suchWater System CP Notes were outstanding. In January 2011, the <strong>District</strong> determined the issued amount forthe Water System will not exceed $410,000,000 until subsequently increased by the <strong>District</strong> in an amountnot to exceed such authorized maximum.

The SIFMA Index Bonds bear interest at a rate that fluctuates based on theweekly SIFMA <strong>Municipal</strong> Swap Index published weekly by <strong>Municipal</strong> Market Data plus a spread and aresubject to mandatory tender on specified mandatory tender dates to occur at the end of each rate period. If81277574.3 A-41


the purchase price of the Series 2009A Bonds is not paid from proceeds of a remarketing or other fundson or prior to a scheduled mandatory tender at the end of the applicable rate period, failure of the <strong>District</strong>to provide funds for the purchase of such Series 2009A Bonds will constitute an Event of Default underthe Indenture. If the purchase price of the Series 2011A Bonds is not paid from proceeds of a remarketingor other funds on or prior to a scheduled mandatory tender at the end of the applicable rate period, failureof the <strong>District</strong> to provide such funds will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture; however,in the event sufficient remarketing proceeds are not available for the purchase of such Series 2011ABonds upon such mandatory tender, such Series 2011A Bonds will go into a term-out period and will bearinterest at an interest rate which is substantially higher than the current variable interest rate on the Series2011A Bonds, and during such term-out period, the Series 2011A Bonds will be subject to specialmandatory redemption over an approximately five-year period, which will result in an acceleration in therepayment of the principal of the Series 2011A Bonds from the principal payments that would otherwisebe due on such Series 2011A Bonds.

By virtue of these Water Interest Rate SwapAgreements, the related variable rate Water System Revenue Bonds are essentially treated by the <strong>District</strong>as fixed rate debt for the purpose of calculating debt service requirements, although the variable paymentsthat the <strong>District</strong> receives from swap counterparties do not usually equal the payments that the <strong>District</strong>makes on associated variable rate debt. There is no guarantee that the floating rate payable to the <strong>District</strong>pursuant to each of the Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements will match the variable interest rate on theassociated Water System Revenue Bonds to which the respective Water Interest Rate Swap Agreementrelates at all times or at any time. Under certain circumstances, the Swap Providers may be obligated tomake a payment to the <strong>District</strong> under their respective Water Interest Rate Swap Agreement that is lessthan the interest due on the associated Water System Revenue Bonds to which such Water Interest Rate81277574.3 A-42


Swap Agreement relates. In such event, the <strong>District</strong> would be obligated to pay such insufficiency fromSubordinated Water Revenues.As of January 15, 2013, the <strong>District</strong> had outstanding the following Water Interest Rate SwapAgreements relating to variable rate Water System Revenue Bonds with the following counterparties(collectively, the “Swap Providers”) in the aggregate notional amount of $446,155,000.Table 15WATER INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTSRelated Water SystemRevenue Bond IssueOutstandingNotionalAmountSwap Provider<strong>District</strong>Pays<strong>District</strong> ReceivesScheduledMaturity/TerminationDateSeries 2011A Bonds $ 99,020,000 The Bank of NewYork MellonSeries 2011A Bonds 49,510,000 JPMorgan ChaseBank, N.A.Series 2008A Bonds 30,850,000 Merrill Lynch & Co.,Inc.Series 2008A Bonds 70,965,000 Bank of America,N.A.Series 2008A Bonds 27,770,000 The Bank of NewYork MellonSeries 2008A Bonds 70,965,000 ) JPMorgan ChaseBank, N.A.Series 2008B-3 Bonds/Series 2009A BondsSeries 2008B-3 Bonds/Series 2009A BondsSeries 2008B-3 Bonds/Series 2009A Bonds3.835% 65.0% of 30-dayLIBOR3.835 65.0% of 30-dayLIBOR3.115 62.3% of 30-dayLIBOR3.115 62.3% of 30-dayLIBOR3.115 62.3% of 30-dayLIBOR3.115 62.3% of 30-dayLIBOR61,050,000 Deutsche Bank AG 3.407 91.0% of USD-SIFMA <strong>Municipal</strong>Swap Index20,350,000 Merrill Lynch & Co.,Inc.15,675,000 Citibank, N.A., NewYork3.407 91.0% of USD-SIFMA <strong>Municipal</strong>Swap Index3.407 91.0% of USD-SIFMA <strong>Municipal</strong>Swap Index06/01/202506/01/202506/01/203806/01/203806/01/203806/01/203806/01/202606/01/202606/01/2026Source: The <strong>District</strong>.Under certain circumstances, the Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements may be terminated andthe <strong>District</strong> may be required to make a substantial termination payment to the respective Swap Providers.Pursuant to the Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements, any such termination payment owed by the <strong>District</strong>would be payable on a basis that is subordinate to the Water System Revenue Bonds but prior to the<strong>District</strong>’s Water System CP Notes.Early termination of an interest rate swap agreement could occur due to a default by either partyor the occurrence of a termination event. In the event of early termination of any of the Water InterestRate Swap Agreements, there can be no assurance that (i) the <strong>District</strong> will receive any terminationpayment payable to the <strong>District</strong> by the respective Swap Providers, (ii) the <strong>District</strong> will at all times havesufficient available cash on hand to pay any termination payment payable by it to the respective SwapProviders, or (iii) the <strong>District</strong> will be able to obtain a replacement Water Interest Rate Swap Agreementwith comparable terms. As of November 30, 2012, the <strong>District</strong> would have been required to pay tocounterparties termination payments if its then outstanding Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements wereterminated on that date. The <strong>District</strong> estimated its net exposure to its counterparties for all suchtermination payments at November 30, 2012 to be approximately $118.8 million. {update to year-end inJanuary} As of November 30, 2012, the largest aggregate termination payment owed to a single81277574.3 A-43


counterparty was estimated by the <strong>District</strong> to be approximately $27.2 million. {update to year-end inJanuary} The <strong>District</strong> does not presently anticipate early termination of any of its Water Interest RateSwap Agreements due to default by either party or the occurrence of a termination event. The <strong>District</strong>routinely monitors its swap counterparties’ creditworthiness and performance under the Water InterestRate Swap Agreements and may from time to time replace existing swap counterparties and WaterInterest Rate Swap Agreements with new replacement interest rate swap agreements if the <strong>District</strong>determines such action is warranted. See also Note 6(F) in APPENDIX B – “EAST BAY MUNICIPALUTILITY DISTRICT AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30,2012 AND 2011” for additional information regarding the terms of the Water Interest Rate SwapAgreements.Pursuant to the terms of certain of the Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements, the <strong>District</strong> isrequired to post collateral in favor of a counterparty to the extent that the <strong>District</strong>’s total exposure fortermination payments to that counterparty exceeds the threshold amount specified in the applicable WaterInterest Rate Swap Agreement. The applicable collateral posting threshold amounts specified in suchWater Interest Rate Swap Agreements would be lower in the event certain ratings assigned to the WaterSystem Revenue Bonds were to be revised downward or withdrawn. In the case of a ratings withdrawal orsignificant downward rating revision, such decline in the applicable threshold amounts could significantlyincrease the <strong>District</strong>’s collateral posting obligation thereunder. If the <strong>District</strong>’s ratings are revised upward,the amount of collateral required to be posted by the <strong>District</strong> under certain of the Water Interest RateSwap Agreements could be reduced.Under the terms of the Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements, the counterparties are required torelease collateral to the <strong>District</strong> as market conditions become favorable to the <strong>District</strong> and may berequired to post collateral for the benefit of the <strong>District</strong> to the extent that such counterparty’s totalexposure for termination payments to the <strong>District</strong> exceeds the threshold amount specified in the applicableWater Interest Rate Swap Agreement. As of December 1, 2012, the <strong>District</strong> had $9.39 million {update inJanuary} in collateral posted in favor of the counterparties to the Water Interest Rate Swap Agreements.The highest amount of collateral the <strong>District</strong> has been required to post in connection with the WaterInterest Rate Swap Agreements on any date was approximately $24.70 million, as of November 30, 2011.The amount of collateral varies from time to time due primarily to interest rate movements and canchange significantly over a short period of time. In the future, the <strong>District</strong> may be required to postadditional collateral, or may be entitled to a reduction or return of the required collateral amount.Collateral deposited by the <strong>District</strong> is held by the counterparties or an agent therefor. A bankruptcy of anycounterparty holding collateral posted by the <strong>District</strong> could adversely affect the return of the collateral tothe <strong>District</strong>. Moreover, posting collateral limits the <strong>District</strong>’s liquidity. If collateral requirements increasesignificantly, the <strong>District</strong>’s liquidity may be adversely affected.81277574.3 A-44

Financial Management PoliciesThe <strong>District</strong> has detailed management policies that include guidelines for debt, capital planning,investments, derivatives, and formal reserves. It is the current policy of the <strong>District</strong> to seek to maintain adebt service coverage ratio of 1.6 times on its outstanding Water System Revenue Bonds and to fundapproximately 35% of its capital program over each five-year planning period from revenues and sourcesother than debt. The debt policy also limits unhedged variable rate debt to 25% of the total debt portfolio.Derivatives use is governed by a comprehensive derivatives policy with guidelines for counterparties,termination, and risk exposure. The <strong>District</strong> budgets for a number of formal reserves, including: (i) aworking capital reserve equal to three months of operation and maintenance expenses; (ii) a self-insurancereserve equal to 1.25 times the expected annual expenditure; (iii) a workers’ compensation reserve ofapproximately $3.2 million in Fiscal Year 2013; and (iv) a contingency/rate stabilization reserve of 20%of projected annual water volume sales revenues. The aggregate budgeted reserves level for Fiscal Year2013 is approximately $115.3 million, which amount the <strong>District</strong> currently maintains in accordance withits reserve policies. The current investment policy dictates investment criteria, reporting, andadministrative requirements.<strong>District</strong> Investment PolicyFunds of the <strong>District</strong> are invested in accordance with the Government Code of the State ofCalifornia (the “State”), the <strong>Municipal</strong> <strong>Utility</strong> <strong>District</strong> Act and the <strong>District</strong>’s investment policy. The fourprimary investment criteria set forth in the <strong>District</strong>’s written investment policy are (in order of priority):(1) preservation of principal; (2) maintenance of liquidity; (3) yield; and (4) diversity. In order to keepfunds available to meet commitments, the <strong>District</strong>’s investment policy provides that the maturity date (orput provision) of individual investments shall not exceed five years and that the average maturity of theportfolio shall not exceed 720 days. Investments permitted by the <strong>District</strong>’s current investment policyinclude U.S. Treasury notes, bonds and bills, the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund,obligations issued by federal agencies, bankers’ acceptances and commercial paper rated in the highestshort-term rating category, as well as collateralized repurchase agreements, certificates of time depositwith maturities not to exceed five years and negotiable certificates of deposit, with maturities not toexceed five years, medium term corporate notes with maturities not to exceed five years, and Californiamunicipal bonds with maturities (or put provisions) not to exceed five years. Monies in the funds andaccounts held by the Trustee under the Indenture may be invested only in Investment Securities, asdefined therein. The <strong>District</strong> does not enter into reverse repurchase agreements or otherwise borrow forpurposes of investing, and the <strong>District</strong> does not invest in derivatives. The <strong>District</strong> has, however, enteredinto interest rate swap transactions to hedge interest rate exposure on outstanding variable rate WaterSystem Revenue Bonds as described herein.Pursuant to the <strong>District</strong>’s investment policy, all securities purchased from dealers and brokers areheld in safekeeping by the trust department of a state or national bank on a payment vs. delivery basis.Collateral is delivered or assigned under a tri-party agreement for all repurchase agreements. Tradeconfirmations are reviewed for conformity to the original transaction by an individual other than the onewho originated the transaction. Transactions are ratified by the General Manager and reported quarterly tothe Finance/Administration Committee of the Board.Cash and InvestmentsThe <strong>District</strong>’s cash and investments are segregated by restricted and unrestricted amounts.Restricted cash and investments generally include bond proceeds and debt service reserve funds,developer advances and capital contributions, and other miscellaneous restricted amounts.

<strong>District</strong> Management’s Discussion of Operating ResultsAs reflected in the preceding table summarizing the <strong>District</strong>’s operating revenues, operatingexpenses and net revenues for the five Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2008 through June 30, 2012, recentFiscal Years have been characterized by decreased water sales volumes which resulted from the impact ofpast conservation combined with a prolonged economic downturn. Since Fiscal Year 2007, water salesvolumes have decreased from 193.1 MGD to 162.1 MGD in Fiscal Year 2012. Water sales revenuesincreased in Fiscal Year 2012 by $22.6 million from Fiscal Year 2011 as a result of a water rate increaseof 6.0% and slightly higher billed consumption of 0.9% compared to Fiscal Year 2011. Power revenuesdecreased by $3.5 million from Fiscal Year 2011 to Fiscal Year 2012 due to a decrease in available waterrun-off. SCC Revenues decreased from $46.2 million to $30.7 million as a result of lower application ofreimbursements for debt service repayment from the Future Water Supply Fund and lower collectionsfrom developers. Fiscal Year 2012 interest income decreased by $0.7 million due to a generally lowerinterest rate environment. In response to reduced water sales and the effects of the economic downturn,the <strong>District</strong> continued its cost containment efforts such as not filling budgeted positions, foregoing salaryincreases, decreasing contract services, and deferring discretionary expenses. Operating expenses forFiscal Year 2012 increased by $16.1 million primarily reflecting increases in expenses for energy,chemicals and solids and additional infrastructure repair and maintenance costs. The <strong>District</strong>’s debtservice coverage ratio for Fiscal Year 2012 met the Board target of 1.60 through significant expensereductions, a rate increase, and debt service savings. The decrease of $12.9 million in debt serviceexpenses included the application of approximately $1 million in available bond reserve funds for finalprincipal payment on the now-retired Series 2001 bonds and the release of $7.5 million of excess funds inthe bond reserve fund for the early retirement of a portion of the principal of the subsequently refundedSeries 2002 Bonds. An additional $3.5 million of savings were realized in connection with the refundingof the Series 2002 bonds by the Series 2011A Bonds in December 2011.See also “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” contained in APPENDIX B – “EAST BAYMUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARSENDED JUNE 30, 2012 AND 2011.”Projected Operating ResultsIn the preparation of the projections in this section, the <strong>District</strong> has made certain assumptionswith respect to conditions that may occur in the future. While the <strong>District</strong> believes these assumptions arereasonable for the purpose of the projections, they are dependent on future events, and actual conditionsmay differ from those assumed. To the extent actual future factors differ from those assumed by the<strong>District</strong> or provided to the <strong>District</strong> by others, the actual results will vary from those forecasted. Thisprojected information has not been compiled, reviewed or examined by the <strong>District</strong>’s independentaccountants.Table 19 sets forth the projected operating results and calculation of the debt service coverageratio for the Water System for the current and next four Fiscal Years. The projected results are based onthe <strong>District</strong>’s Biennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2012 and 2013 (which provided a budget forecast forFiscal Years 2012 through 2016), the <strong>District</strong>’s Mid-Cycle Budget Update for Fiscal Year 2013 (whichwas presented to the Board in May 2012) and additional information based on recent experience. Theprojections reflect the issuance of the <strong>District</strong>’s Series 2012B Bonds in November 2012 and assume theissuance of the Series 2013A Bonds in March 2013. In the preparation of the projected operating results,the <strong>District</strong> developed forecasts of water consumption for the projection period, taking into accounthistorical consumption levels, the continuing effects of conservation measures, limited growth in theservice area, and the expectations for the future economic environment. The <strong>District</strong> is adjusting to a“new normal” without expectation that growth will significantly bolster net revenues. As such,81277574.3 A-49


maintaining the <strong>District</strong>'s policy target of 1.60x for debt service coverage on its Water System RevenueBonds will require annual rate increases, continued cost containment efforts, and debt service savings.The projection period assumes a 6.8% average annual rate increase, consistent with historic levels.Operating expenses incorporate salary and benefit expectations. The <strong>District</strong>'s service area is mature andsignificant increases in SCC revenues are not expected. A higher level of cash funded capital spending isassumed as a result of the cash generated by higher coverage levels and in response to the nature of the<strong>District</strong>'s capital plan which is largely comprised of renewal and replacement projects.The <strong>District</strong>’s next Biennial Budget will be prepared for Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015 and willinclude a new budget forecast for Fiscal Years 2014 through 2018 and proposed rate increases for FiscalYears 2014 and 2015. The Biennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015 is expected to be adopted byJune 30, 2013.[REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.]81277574.3 A-50

Employees’ Retirement SystemGeneral. The <strong>District</strong> has a contributory retirement system covering substantially all of itsemployees (including the Water System and Wastewater System). The <strong>East</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Municipal</strong> <strong>Utility</strong> <strong>District</strong>Employees’ Retirement System (“Retirement System”) was established in 1937 to administer a singleemployer,contributory, defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) to provide retirement, disability,survivorship and post-employment health insurance benefits for eligible directors, officers and employeesof the <strong>District</strong>. The Plan is funded by contributions from its members and from the <strong>District</strong>, and frominvestment earnings on Plan assets. The payment of benefits earned by plan members of the RetirementSystem is an obligation of the <strong>District</strong>. Employees of the <strong>District</strong> are also covered by Social Security.The Retirement System is administered by a Retirement Board composed of three membersappointed by the <strong>District</strong> Board, two members elected by and from the active membership and one(nonvoting) member elected by and from the retired membership of the Retirement System. OrdinanceNo. 40 of the <strong>District</strong>, effective October 1, 1937, as amended (the “Retirement System Ordinance”),assigns the authority to establish Plan benefit provisions to the <strong>District</strong> Board.Contributions to the Retirement System are made by the members and the <strong>District</strong>. Eachmember’s contribution is based upon a percentage of that member’s covered compensation. Theemployee contribution rates are prescribed in the Retirement System Ordinance and may be adjusted bythe <strong>District</strong> Board solely pursuant to the terms of a negotiated collective bargaining agreement or MOUwith employee bargaining units. The <strong>District</strong> employees’ contribution rate has been 6.86% since April2006. The <strong>District</strong> (employer) contributions are based upon percentages of the aggregate amount ofmembers’ covered compensation. Employer contribution percentages are established by the <strong>District</strong>Board. Such percentages are based upon actuarial valuations.As of June 30, 2012, collectively for the Water and Wastewater Systems, there were 1,705 activeplan members, 223 terminated plan members entitled to but not yet receiving benefits and 1,369 retireesand beneficiaries receiving benefits.Table 20 below sets forth the number of active members, total plan assets, <strong>District</strong> and Membercontributions and retirement allowances paid in the five Fiscal Years 2008 through 2012.Table 20RETIREMENT SYSTEMActive Members, Total Plan Assets, <strong>District</strong> and Member Contributions and Allowances PaidFive Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2012 (1)Fiscal YearEndedJune 30Active<strong>District</strong>Members (2) Total Plan Assets (3) Contribution (4)MemberContributionsAllowancesPaid FromRetirement Plan (5)2008 2,029 $838,614,000 $44,603,000 $10,394,000 $50,780,0002009 2,022 668,750,000 45,803,000 10,740,000 54,502,0002010 1,978 769,052,000 51,756,000 10,918,000 58,109,0002011 1,928 968,239,000 58,481,000 10,850,000 62,114,0002012 1,925 986,972,000 59,651,000 10,723,000 66,843,008(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)Includes Health Insurance Benefit Plan.Includes active plan members and terminated plan members entitled to but not yet receiving benefits.Market value as of June 30 of such Fiscal Year as shown in the audited financial statements of the Retirement System.The <strong>District</strong> estimates that approximately 85% of the <strong>District</strong>’s annual contributions are attributable to the Water System andapproximately 15% are attributable to the Wastewater System.Includes benefits paid and refunds of contributions.81277574.3 A-53


Source: The <strong>District</strong>.The Retirement System is an integral part of the <strong>District</strong> and, as noted above, the <strong>District</strong> appointsthe majority of the governing body of the Retirement System and provides for its funding. Accordingly,the Retirement System’s operations are reported as a Pension and Other Employee Benefit Trust Fund inthe <strong>District</strong>’s basic financial statements. The Retirement System also issues separately available financialstatements on an annual basis. Such financial statements can be obtained from the <strong>District</strong> at 375 EleventhStreet, Oakland, California 94607.The amounts set forth in this discussion of the Employees’ Retirement System, including, forexample, actuarial accrued liabilities and funded ratios, are based upon numerous demographic andeconomic assumptions, including investment return rates, inflation rates, salary increase rates, cost ofliving adjustments, postemployment mortality, active member mortality, and rates of retirement.Prospective purchasers of the <strong>District</strong>’s bonds are cautioned to review and carefully assess thereasonableness of the assumptions set forth in the documents that are cited as the sources for suchinformation. In addition, prospective purchasers of the <strong>District</strong>’s bonds are cautioned that such sourcesand the underlying assumptions speak as of their respective dates, and are subject to change. Prospectivepurchasers of the <strong>District</strong>’s bonds should also be aware that some of the information presented in thisdiscussion of the Employees’ Retirement System contains forward-looking statements and the actualresults of the Retirement System may differ materially from the information presented herein.Benefits. All regular full-time employees (as well as certain job share and intermittentemployees) of the <strong>District</strong> are members of the Plan. In accordance with the Retirement System Ordinance,eligible employees become members of the Plan on the first day they are physically on the job.Retirement plan benefits are generally determined by formula based on the employee’s compensation inthe last two years of employment and the length of employment with the <strong>District</strong>. Benefits adopted by the<strong>District</strong> vest in part with members after five years of continuous full-time employment. Vested memberswho terminate employment may elect a refund of their contributions or leave them in the Plan untileligible to receive benefits.In addition to retirement benefits, the <strong>District</strong> provides post-employment health benefitsassistance, administered by the Retirement System, for employees who retire from the <strong>District</strong> or theirsurviving spouses. As of June 30, 2012, there were 1,261 participants receiving these healthcare benefits.For participants entering the Retirement System prior to July 1, 1996, a monthly allowance of up to $450($550 for married retirees and retirees with financially dependent registered domestic partners) is paid toretirees with at least five years of full-time service to reimburse the retiree-paid medical expenses(including any health, dental or long-term care insurance premiums paid by the retiree for his or her self,and current spouse or domestic partner, or any health, dental or long-term care insurance premiums paidby the eligible surviving spouse of a retiree). Effective July 1, 1996, a 20-year vesting schedule for fullbenefits was implemented for all new employees. Effective January 1, 1999, retired members who hadseparated from the <strong>District</strong> prior to their retirement and who had at least 10 years of service also becomeeligible for the post-employment healthcare benefits based on the same sliding scale.Actuarial Assumptions and Funding Policy. Under the ordinance governing the RetirementSystem, the <strong>District</strong> is required to have an actuarial study performed at least every two years, but the<strong>District</strong>’s current policy is to have an actuarial study performed each year. The most recent actuarial studyof the Retirement System, including the pension and the HIB trusts, was performed by The SegalCompany, as of June 30, 2011. A new actuarial study as of June 30, 2012 is expected to be completed inJanuary 2013. {check to update when completed}81277574.3 A-54


The actuarial report provides a basis for the <strong>District</strong> Board’s decision regarding the rate ofcontributions by the <strong>District</strong> to the Retirement System, including both the pension and the healthinsurance benefit (“HIB”) trusts. The <strong>District</strong> makes its contribution using rates determined by its outsideactuaries.The actuarial valuation results included in this disclosure for the pension plan have been preparedusing parameters required under Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statements 25and 27. These GASB Statements will be replaced by GASB Statements 67 and 68 for financial reportingpurposes effective with Fiscal Year 2014 for the Plan and Fiscal Year 2015 for the <strong>District</strong>. The newGASB Statements will require much shorter amortization periods for recognition of non-investmentgains/losses and actuarial assumption changes, as well as changes in the recognition of investmentgains/losses. GASB has indicated throughout their process of obtaining comments from the retirementand accounting communities that the new GASB Statements may provide for a new and completeseparation between financial reporting and funding requirements for pension plans.To calculate the required contribution for each Fiscal Year, assumptions are made about futureevents that affect the amount and timing of benefits to be paid and assets to be accumulated. Each yearactual experience is measured against the assumptions. If overall experience is more favorable thananticipated (an actuarial gain), the contribution requirement will decrease from the previous year. On theother hand, the contribution requirement will increase if overall actuarial experience is less favorable thanassumed (an actuarial loss). If assumptions are changed, the contribution requirement is adjusted to takeinto account a change in experience anticipated for all future years.A summary of the funding method and assumptions utilized in the actuarial study as of June 30,2011 are described below.Funding Method. The Plan’s funding policy provides for periodic <strong>District</strong> contributions atactuarially determined amounts sufficient to accumulate the necessary assets to pay benefits when due asspecified by the ordinance governing the Retirement System. The entry age normal cost method is usedfor this purpose. Under the entry age normal cost method, there are two components to the totalcontributions: (i) the normal cost, which is the amount of contributions required to fund the benefitallocated to the current year of service (associated with active employees only), and (ii) an amortizationpayment on any unfunded actuarial accrued liability (“UAAL”). The normal cost is calculated on anaggregate basis by taking the present value of future normal costs divided by the present value of futuresalaries to obtain a normal cost rate. The normal cost rate is then multiplied by the total current salaries.The UAAL (past service liability) is amortized as a level percentage of payroll on a closed basis over a 30year period. The actuarial accrued liability is calculated on an individual basis and is based on costsallocated as a level percentage of compensation.Amortization Periods. As of June 30, 2011, the unfunded actuarial accrued liability is currentlybeing funded using a layered approach. Each layer of the UAAL is being funded over a separate 30-yeardecreasing period, starting from the date the layer was originally established. Under the layered approach,any new UAAL that emerges between the prior and the current actuarial valuation (due to deviationsbetween actual and expected actuarial experience, changes in actuarial assumptions used to measure theliabilities or other factors) will be determined and factored into the <strong>District</strong>’s contribution rates so that itwill be paid off in 30 years from the date of the current valuation.Actuarial Assumptions. A number of assumptions are used to calculate the costs of the Plan andto compute contribution requirements for the Plan. The principal assumptions used in preparing theactuarial study as of June 30, 2011 include:81277574.3 A-55


1. Investment rate of return: 8.00%.2. Inflation rate: 3.50%.3. Interest credited to member contributions: 8.00%.4. Projected salary increases: Ranges from 4.70% to 10.00% based on years of service(includes inflation at 3.50% plus across the board salary increase of 0.50% plus merit andpromotional increases).5. Cost of living adjustments: 3.25%.6. Increase in HIB maximum monthly allowance: The Plan does not provide for anautomatic increase in the HIB allowance and no such increase is assumed in thevaluation.7. Additional assumptions: Additional assumptions were used regarding rates oftermination from active membership, post-retirement mortality, active member mortality,disability rates and rates of retirement.Actuarial Value of Assets (Asset Smoothing Method). Methods used to compute <strong>District</strong>contribution requirements include a five-year smoothing of the difference between the actual marketreturn and the expected return on the market value of the assets (with further adjustments as may berequired to keep the smoothed assets within 30% of market value). The impact of this will result in a“smoothed” valuation value of assets (or “Actuarial Value of Assets”) that is higher or lower than themarket value of the assets depending on whether the amount that is being smoothed is either a net gain ora net loss.Adopted Changes in Actuarial Assumption and Amortization Periods. Under the ordinancegoverning the Retirement System, the <strong>District</strong> is required to have an actuarial experience study conductedduring each four-year period in order to review the mortality, service and compensation experience of themembers, retired members and beneficiaries of the Retirement System, over the study period. Theexperience study provides the factual information upon which the outside actuary makesrecommendations to the <strong>District</strong> regarding the economic and demographic assumptions that provide thebasis for the actuarial valuation of the assets and liabilities of the Retirement System. In November 2012,The Segal Company completed and presented to the Retirement Board, its Analysis of ActuarialExperience During the Period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2012, for the Retirement System (the “2012Experience Study”). The 2012 Experience Study utilized demographic data of the Plan’s members andretirees from the last four actuarial valuations and provided recommendations regarding changes to theeconomic and demographic actuarial assumptions to be used in the June 30, 2012 and later actuarialvaluations. Pursuant to the 2012 Experience Study, the actuary recommended changes in a number of theactuarial assumptions used to calculate the costs of the Plan and to compute the future contributionrequirements for the Plan, including changes in the assumptions from those used in the actuarial study ofthe Plan as of June 30, 2011 as described under “Actuarial Assumptions” above. The recommendedchanges in the actuarial assumptions include, among others, the following: (i) a reduction in the assumedinvestment rate of return from 8.00% to 7.75%; (ii) a reduction in the assumed inflation rate from 3.50%to 3.25%; (iii) a reduction in the projected salary increases from the range of 4.70% to 10.00% based onyears of service (and including the 3.50% assumed inflation rate plus across the board salary increases of0.50% plus merit and promotional increases) to a range of 4.25% to 9.75% (including the newrecommended 3.25% assumed inflation rate plus across the board salary increases of 0.50% plus meritand promotional increases); and (iv) a reduction in the assumed long-term annual average cost of livingadjustment from 3.25% to 3.15%. At its November 15, 2012 meeting, the Retirement Board approved thechanges in assumptions recommended by the actuary for the actuarial valuation to be performed as ofJune 30, 2012. The actuary estimated the change in total normal cost and actuarial accrued liability for thepension plan (not including the HIB) due to the proposed assumption changes, as if they were applied in81277574.3 A-56


the June 30, 2011 actuarial valuation. As reported in the 2012 Experience Study, if all of the proposedassumption changes were implemented in the June 30, 2011 valuation, the total normal cost of thepension plan (not including the HIB) would have increased by approximately $1.4 million and theactuarial accrued liability of the pension plan as of June 30, 2011 would have increased by approximately$48.4 million.At the November 15, 2012 meeting, the Retirement Board also adopted a change in theamortization policy for the unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL), effective with the June 30, 2012valuation. In particular, changes in the UAAL due to actuarial assumption or method changes on or afterJuly 1, 2011 will be amortized on a 25-year period (the current amortization period for assumption ormethod changes is 30 years). In their experience study report, The Segal Company, the actuary, hadpreviously estimated the effect of this change in the amortization policy combined with the effect of thechanges in the actuarial assumptions, assuming all of these changes had been implemented in the June 30,2011 valuation. Assuming payment at the beginning of the year, all of these changes were estimated toincrease the <strong>District</strong> contribution rate for the pension plan (not including the HIB) by about 2.8% ofpayroll.It should also be mentioned that, at the September 20, 2012 meeting, the Retirement Board alsoadopted a modification from an aggregate version to an individual version of the Entry Age Normalfunding method. In their November 7, 2012 letter, the actuary estimated that this modification wouldincrease the <strong>District</strong>’s normal cost rate by about 0.7% of payroll. This estimate was again based on theresults of the June 30, 2011 valuation.Contribution History. The schedule of <strong>District</strong> contributions for each of the pension plan and theHIB plan for the last five Fiscal Years are shown in Table 21 below:Pension Plan:Fiscal YearEnded June 30:Table 21RETIREMENT SYSTEMHistory of ContributionsFive Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2012($ in 000’s)<strong>District</strong>Contribution Rateat June 30Annual RequiredContributionActualContributionPercentageContributed2008 24.42% $37,387 $37,387 100%2009 24.96 39,485 39,485 1002010 27.24 44,031 44,031 1002011 31.80 50,987 50,987 1002012 32.91 52,156 52,156 100Health Insurance Benefit:Fiscal YearEnded June 30:<strong>District</strong>Contribution Rateat June 30Annual RequiredContributionActualContributionPercentageContributed (1)2008 3.83% $ 9,114 $7,216 79%2009 3.98 9,114 6,318 692010 4.91 11,370 7,725 682011 4.78 10,496 7,494 712012 4.83 11,518 7,495 6581277574.3 A-57


(1)Percentage contributed was less than 100% as the <strong>District</strong> does not pre-fund the implicit retiree rate subsidy required to bevalued under GASB Statements Nos. 43 and 45. See “– Schedule of Funding Progress” below.As reflected in the actuarial study and shown in Table 22 below, the combined Actuarial AccruedLiability for pension and HIB benefits at June 30, 2011 was $1,544,486,000 and the Actuarial Value ofAssets was $966,767,0000, resulting in an Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability of $577,719,000 and afunded ratio of the Plan under the entry age normal basis of 62.6%. As described above, the ActuarialValue of Assets has been calculated using a five-year smoothing of the difference between the actualmarket return and the expected return on the market value of the assets. The liabilities for the pensionbenefits are calculated in compliance with GASB Statement No. 25 (“Financial Reporting for DefinedBenefit Pension Plans, Note Disclosures for Defined Contribution Plans”) and Statement No. 27(“Accounting for Pensions by State and Local Governmental Employers”), but do not reflect theparameters of GASB Statement No. 45. See also “– Schedule of Funding Progress” below.Table 22 below sets forth the Actuarial Accrued Liability, Actuarial Value of Assets, theUnfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability and Funded Ratio as of June 30 of each of the Fiscal Years 2007through 2011 (the most recent actuarial information available).Fiscal YearEndedJune 30ActuarialAccrued Liability(AAL)Table 22RETIREMENT SYSTEMActuarial Accrued Liability, Actuarial Value of Assets,Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability and Funded RatioFive Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2011 (1)($ in 000’s)ActuarialValueof AssetsMarketValueof AssetsUnfundedActuarialAccrued Liability(UAAL) (2)Funded Ratioon ActuarialValueFunded Ratioon MarketValue2007 $1,201,950 $831,306 $911,104 $370,644 69.16% 75.80%2008 1,336,676 907,927 838,614 428,749 67.92 62.742009 1,415,392 869,375 668,750 546,017 61.42 47.252010 1,491,885 925,907 769,052 565,978 62.06 51.552011 1,544,486 (3) 966,767 968,239 577,719 62.59 62.69(1)(2)Dollars rounded to nearest thousand.The <strong>District</strong> estimates that approximately 85% of the UAAL is attributable to the Water System and approximately 15% isattributable to the Wastewater System. The UAAL is determined based on the Actuarial Value of Assets.(3)Of this amount, $98,446,000 is attributable to the HIB liabilities. The HIB liabilities as calculated for GASB reportingpurposes, which include the implicit retiree rate subsidy, were $135,360,000 using a discount rate of 7.25%.Source: The Segal Company.As of June 30, 2011, the market value of the combined pension and HIB plan’s assets was$968,239,000 and the projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) was $1,498,879,000, resulting in a fundedratio of the plan under the PBO basis of 64.6%. Under the plan provisions, determination of the fundedratio on a PBO basis is required and certain cost of living increases are granted when the funded ratio ofthe plan is 85% or higher as calculated on the PBO basis.Schedule of Funding Progress. As required by GASB 45, the <strong>District</strong> reports the schedule offunding progress for each of the pension plan and the post-employment healthcare plan (HIB). Theschedule of funding progress presents multiyear trend information that shows whether the actuarial valueof plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.The schedule of funding progress for the pension plan is set forth in Table 23 below.81277574.3 A-58

The liabilities as reflected in the actuarial study have not been adjusted to include the implicitretiree rate subsidy as required under GASB reporting requirements. (Note that when premiums for activeemployees are determined on a pooled basis with premiums for retirees under age 65, a significantaccounting obligation may exist even though the retiree under age 65 contributes most or all of theblended premium cost of the plan. The average costs for retirees if determined on a stand-alone basis islikely to exceed the average cost for the whole group, leading to an implicit subsidy for these retirees. TheGASB accounting standard requires the employer to identify and account for this implicit subsidy as wellas any explicit subsidies the employer may provide.) In addition, the liabilities for GASB reportingpurposes for the HIB portion of the obligations shown below were determined based upon a lowerdiscount rate (i.e., 7.25%) than the 8.00% investment rate of return used in The Segal Companyprefunding study.

Related Matters. In the past few years, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has focused itsauditing activities towards governmental retirement plans to determine if those plans are complying withfederal tax laws. While the <strong>District</strong> has consistently amended its Retirement Ordinance to comply withchanges in the federal tax code, other governmental plans failed to amend their plans to reflect changes intax laws. The failure to include these amendments put those plans at risk of a range of consequences frombeing assessed significant penalties to losing its tax-qualified status, wherein all assets under the planwould become immediately taxable. Because so many governmental plans were at risk, the IRS instituteda voluntary correction program (“VCP”), which provided such plans the opportunity to voluntarily reportany failures and institute corrective measures. In participating in the voluntary correction program,governmental plans would be protected from enforcement actions for such failures. Under the VCP, theIRS would review and approve the corrective measures proposed by the plan and at the end of the review,issue a letter of determination of tax qualified status. A letter of determination of tax qualified statuswould serve as protection against liability for prior violations of federal tax laws as well as serve as a safeharbor for future IRS audits. The <strong>District</strong> has taken advantage of this “safe harbor” opportunity byparticipating in the IRS’ voluntary correction program to make additional necessary corrections to its Planwhile protecting itself against potential tax liability. The <strong>District</strong>’s application for a determination letter tothe IRS is still under review due to the voluminous number of VCP filings. While the <strong>District</strong> is unable topredict when the IRS will ultimately act on the <strong>District</strong>’s application or what action the IRS will take inits review of such application, since the <strong>District</strong> has been amending its Retirement Ordinance to maintaincompliance with the federal tax code during the past two decades and because the voluntary correctionprogram offers a safe harbor for non-complaint plans, the <strong>District</strong> expects that the IRS will provide astatement that the <strong>District</strong>’s Plan is in compliance with the tax code and that the Plan is tax qualified.California Pension Reform Act. On August 31, 2012, the California legislature enactedAssembly Bill 340, the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (the “PEPRA”). ThePEPRA was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown on September 12, 2012 and will become effectiveon January 1, 2013. Pursuant to the provisions of the PEPRA, as enacted, the PERPA is intended to applyto all state and local public retirement systems, independent public retirement systems, and to individualretirement plans offered by public employers, with the exception of the University of California, andCalifornia charter cities and counties, except to the extent such entities participate in any retirementsystem governed by State statute. The provisions of the PERPA will primarily apply to employees firsthired by a public agency or after January 1, 2013. Some of these provisions include certain limits on theamount and types of compensation that may be included by a retirement system in calculating pensionbenefits, the imposition of new formulas for the calculation of pension benefits for employees, certainrequirements for the sharing of the costs of pension benefits by employees, and certain limitations on theadoption of new defined benefit plans. The PERPA would prohibit certain retroactive enhancements topension benefit formulas for all employees, impose certain limits on post-retirement employment for allemployees, prohibit the purchase of non-qualified permissive service credit by all employees afterJanuary 1, 2013, and require for any employee the forfeiture of pension and retirement-related benefits forcertain felony convictions.The provisions of the PERPA and its applicability to the <strong>District</strong>’s Retirement System is currentlybeing reviewed by <strong>District</strong> management and its General Counsel, and it is too early to assess at this timewhat its ultimate impact will be. In addition, the interpretation and application of the PERPA will likelybe subject to judicial determination, and further implementing legislation.Additional information concerning the Retirement System may be found in APPENDIX B –“EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THEYEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 AND 2011.”81277574.3 A-60

Board of DirectorsMonthly Report - December 2012Page 7All discharges from the MWWTP complied with the permit limits for the month ofDecember. This is the 160 th consecutive month that the Main Wastewater Treatment Plantexperienced no exceedances.December 2012 storms caused sufficient collection system inflow and infiltration to requireactivation of two of the three wet weather facilities. The Oakport, Pt. Isabel and San AntonioCreek wet weather facilities have a combined total of 84 hours of discharge time and havedischarged a total of 98 million gallons so far this weather season. These discharge events havebeen reported to the State OES, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and Alameda and ContraCosta County Health agencies in accordance with the <strong>District</strong>'s wet weather discharge permit.On December 1,2012 the MWWTP had an unauthorized discharge event when the sluicegate on the Wet Weather Storage Basin fill/drain channel failed and closed whenattempting to drain the storage basin. The small amount of spilled sewage exited a manhole onthe fill/drain channel and was contained on the plant site and adjacent CalTrans property. Thisincident was reported to the RWQCB and is not expected to result in enforcement action.On December 1, 2012 the Pt. Isabel Wet Weather Facility discharged approximately140,000 gallons of effluent with a chlorine residual of-2.0 mg/L Follow up sampling andanalysis determined that the root cause of this incident was inadequate mix:.ng of thedechlorinating chemical with the effluent. An engineering study is underway to identify theappropriate long term improvements to ensure adequate mixing under all conditions and interimsteps have been taken to reduce the likelihood of a recurrence. This incident was reported to theRWQCB and is likely to result in enforcement action under the minimum mandatory fineregulations.On December 2, 2012, the Pt. Isabel Wet Weather Facility experienced a single phase powerinterruption which damaged the dechlorinating chemical feed system and prevented itsoperation when the backup generator restored power. In response to this incident, staffstarted up a backup dechlorination chemical feed system to restore dechlorination. During thistime the facility discharged approximately 560,000 gallons. Given the circumstances it wouldappear likely that this discharge included chlorine residual. This incident has been reported to theRWQCB and may result in a fine.Negotiations with the Department off Justice, USEPA, and the State and Regional WaterBoards regarding a long-term consent decree to address the <strong>District</strong>'s Wet Weather Facilitydischarges are scheduled to begin on January 23. <strong>Staff</strong> has been working closely with thesatellite agencies on legal and technical issues in preparation for the negotiations. It is anticipatedthat negotiations will take at least one year and result in a consent decree that outlines a 20-30year program of work by the <strong>District</strong> and the satellite agencies on the collecdon systems andprivate sewer laterals.

None.39th Avenue Reservoir Replacement Project. Associate Civil Engineer Bill Jeng provided a statusupdate on the project, the environmental review process, and the public outreach efforts. He reportedthat the current reservoir roof needs structural upgrades and doesn't meet current seismic codes.Additionally, the current storage capacity is too large for the area it serves, which leads to water qualityoperational challenges. <strong>Staff</strong> proposed installing a smaller capacity tank to improve the seismic stabilityand water quality capability rather than installing a new roof and making other major upgrades.Next, Mr. Jeng highlighted the key environmental factors associated with the project includingaesthetics, air quality; greenhouse gas emissions; biological resources; geology/soils; hazardousmaterial; noise; and traffic/transportation. He said the environmental impact report studies concludedthat the impacts are less than significant and that no comments were received on the Mitigated NegativeDeclaration (MND).Mr. Jeng said that <strong>District</strong> staff conducted two public outreach meetings to provide a briefing onthe project and to solicit input regarding three different architectural concepts for the tank and sitelayout. In general, neighbors were pleased with the refined concept and had only minor inputregarding the site plan. Construction-related concerns focused on noise, dust, and neighborhoodtraffic impacts as well as the preservation of the existing open space and lar.dscaping to the extentfeasible. Adoption of the MND will be scheduled for consideration at a future Board meeting anddesign and construction will be completed in future years.Water Conservation Rebate Update. Manager of Water Conservation Richard W. Harris highlightedcurrent and planned conservation incentive programs. He reported that beginning in early 2013, the<strong>District</strong> plans to offer all customers a new bundled outdoor conservation rebate program that combinesa total of six existing residential and commercial conservation rebates into a single offer. The incentivesinclude lawn conversion, drip irrigation, high-efficiency sprinkler nozzles, self-adjusting irrigationcontrollers, pressure regulators and submetering. No major changes are proposed to the outdoor rebate

DEAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICTDATE: January 3, 2013MEMO TO: Board of DirectorsTHROUGH: Alexander R. Coate, General Manager/M^FROM:Lynelle M.

Irias provided astatus update on the staff review of <strong>District</strong> construction projects that could benefit from using aProject Labor Agreement (PLA). He reported that the potential benefits of a PLA may accrue forrelatively large, complex projects, often involving multiple trades, and with schedules that areunforgiving of labor disruptions. He said the staff analysis confirmed that $25 million is a thresholdthat avoids excessive administrative overhead while still providing the opportunity to capture thepotential benefits that a PLA could offer. As a result, staff recommended that the Board adopt apolicy establishing a $25 million threshold for considering the use of PLAs on a case-by-case basisand presented a draft policy to the committee for its review.The Committee provided suggestions and staff will return with final draft language for the newpolicy, incorporating clarifications that staff will make a recommendation to the Board afterdetermining whether analysis should be performed for a PLA and including language regardingquality assurance, coordinating with master labor agreements, and endeavoring to consider thebenefits of local hiring. There was discussion of considering a lower threshold but afterdiscussion there was consensus to retain the staff-recommended $25 million level.Legislative Report.
