WORKSHOP

Draft Budget for Fiscal Year 2013/2014

Mr. Manning gave a brief introduction of the draft budget for 2013/2014. He noted that the budget that staff was recommending did not have an increase in the assessment but encouraged the Board to consider other options for the future. Ms. Saenz gave a presentation on the draft budget for fiscal year 2013/2014. She reviewed some of the key elements and noted that it reflected the same assessment of $7.25/AF as in the previous 10 years. She also noted that the draft budget included some additional items such as the database mapping activities, co-sponsorship of annual groundwater forum, and the implementation of paperless agendas for Board meetings and committee meetings. She also reported that the BPOU, PVOU and EMOU PRPs partially reimburse WQA’s internal costs, including funding acquisition and community relations;

and the SEMOU “side door” funds were used for SEMOU internal project costs for staffing, funding acquisition, legal and community relations. Mr. Goulart expressed some concerns regarding the project costs allocations in the BPOU and the fact that they have gone up from 11.5% to 16.3%. Mr. Kuhn commented that he wouldn’t have an issue raising the assessment to where it needed to be to cover the funding gap if it were done gradually increasing a percentage of it over time. Mr. Ayala asked if the agency was living within its means. Mr. Manning assured Mr. Ayala that WQA was indeed living within its means. Mr. Goulart expressed more concerns with the costs associated with BPOU and indicated that they are optimistic about the issues presented and wanted to work through these issues with staff. Mr. Michalko asked if WQA had a policy for reserves. Mr. Manning responded by saying that WQA does not have a policy because the WQA is a “temporary” agency but if the life of the WQA is extended that may be something for the Board to consider.

PUBLIC COMMENT

None.

ADJOURNMENT The Chairman asked if there were any other items of business to come before the Board. There being none, the Board meeting was adjourned to April 17, 2013 at 12:00 P.M.


Administrative Finance Committee April 9, 2013 Agenda Submittal - Draft Budget FY 13-14 Page 2 of 2

AGENDA SUBMITTAL

To: WQA Board Members

From: Kenneth R. Manning, Executive Director

Date: April 17, 2013

Subject: Budget Workshop – v2 Draft Budget for FY 13-14

Discussion The budget for FY 13-14 involves the participation of several interested parties – the WQA Board of Directors, the Water Producers, the Cooperating Respondents (CRs), the Water Rights Holders and the public. As stated in previous staff reports, one of the notable changes in this budget from the previous year is the assumption that the BPOU CRs will reimburse WQA for 25% of the costs related to The Monares Group. Last year the CRs did not contribute to these costs which are related to obtaining federal and state funding. However, staff believes that 25% would be an appropriate level of reimbursement given WQA’s current effort to secure direct access energy legislation to benefit the CRs. Version v2 of the draft budget was presented at the Budget Workshop/Special Board Meeting held on April 9, 2013. No changes have since been made to the v2 draft budget; therefore today’s budget workshop will be a second presentation of the v2 Draft Budget. Any comments received regarding the draft will be addressed and discussed at the May 14 Administrative / Finance Committee Meeting. If changes are made, a third version of the budget will be presented to the Committee. Recommendations / Proposed Actions Staff requests that the Board approve the draft budget, subject to any revisions, to be resubmitted to the May 14, 2013 Administrative / Finance Committee meeting.

GOLDEN STATE WATER COMPANY - HIGHWAY WELL TREATMENT (See page 5)

SAN GABRIEL VALLEY WATER COMPANY - PLANT 11 (See page 6)

This project is located at the City of Arcadia's St Joseph water facility. The City will construct,install and operate a LPGAC treatment system for the removal of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) contamination from St. Joseph Well No. 2 as well as a regenerable ion exchangepackage system for the purpose of removing nitrates. Both treatment trains will have a designcapacity of 3,000 gpm. The WQA Board has allocated Restoration funds to partially offset thecost of construction. Costs are not included for FY 13/14 as construction is not expected tostart during the next fiscal year.

Costs on this line item are associated with projects both owned and operated by WQAand not owned or operated by WQA, and reflect the costs to maintain and operate atreatment system or the costs associated with administering outside funding and grants.

This project is located at the City of Monrovia’s (CM's) well field on Myrtle Avenue in the CM.The original project, which utilizes two 1,800 gpm air-strippers, has been operational since thecompletion of its construction in 1997. As part of an operation and maintenance agreementwith the CM, WQA was responsible for the energy costs associated with running the air-strippers. However, beginning FY04/05, WQA discontinued paying for the energy costsassociated with the operation of the air strippers and the necessary South Coast Air QualityManagement District permit. In FY07/08, the CM constructed an off-gas treatment facility byutilizing vapor phase granular activated carbon technology at the same location. The additionaltreatment has a design capacity of 4,000 gpm. The WQA Board allocated Restoration funds tooffset the cost of construction. At a future point, the CM plans to construct a 6,000 gpm ionexchange treatment system for the removal of perchlorate and nitrate at the well field. TheWQA Board has allocated Restoration funds to partially offset the cost of construction of the ion exchange system. Costs are not included for FY 13/14 as construction is not expected to startduring the next fiscal year.

In FY04/05 the Golden State Water Company (GSWC) constructed an ion exchange treatmentfacility at its Highway Well water facility. The treatment facility removes perchlorate andnitrates from wells Artesia 2, Artesia 3, Baseline 3, Baseline 4 and Highway 1. The WQA Boardhas allocated Restoration funds to partially offset the cost of the treatment and remediation,which were utilized in FY 11/12.

The WQA Board authorized the use of federal funds to offset a portion of SGVWC's treatmentand remediation costs for Plant 11. The federal funds for Plant were utilized in FY 9/10. Nofederal funds have been allocated since that date.

4. BALDWIN PARK AREA OPERABLE UNIT - PLANT B6 (See page 10)

The 2,500 gpm groundwater treatment project was constructed in 2000 for the La PuenteValley County Water District (LPVCWD). The plant utilizes air stripping, ion exchange andultraviolet light to treat VOCs, Perchlorate, n-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and 1,4-Dioxane.The treatment and remediation costs for the project are funded as part of the Baldwin ParkOperable Unit (BPOU) Project Agreement. In addition, LPVCWD tested waste brinedestruction methods resulting from the operation of the ion exchange treatment technology.The BPOU project committee determined that LPVCWD should replace the existingregenerable ion exchange treatment equipment with more efficient single pass ion exchangetreatment equipment thereby eliminating all waste brine discharges. In addition to the new ionexchange treatment equipment, LPVCWD completed construction of a new onsite productionwell. The costs for the completion of the ion exchange treatment equipment and the new wellwere reflected in the FY09/10 budget and were funded through the BPOU Project Agreement,a USBR Title XVI award, and Restoration funds approved by the Board. The FY13/14 budgetincludes the subsequent treatment and remediation costs that are being funded through theBPOU Project Agreement.

The 7,800 gpm groundwater treatment project at San Gabriel Valley Water Company’s(SGVWC) existing B6 well field has been constructed and is currently operating under itsDepartment of Public Health (DPH) Policy 97-005 amended water supply permit. The projectremoves VOCs, Perchlorate, NDMA and 1,4-Dioxane from the groundwater with a combinationof treatment technologies including air stripping, ion exchange, and ultraviolet light. The projectalso includes the construction of four new extraction wells at two new extraction locations nearthe southwestern edge of the BPOU. The construction of the new extraction wells wascompleted at the end of FY04/05. In FY 09/10 SGVWC began the process of replacing theexisting regenerable ion exchange treatment equipment with the more efficient single pass ionexchange treatment equipment. The costs associated with the new ion exchange treatmentequipment are being funded through the BPOU Project Agreement. The FY13/14 budgetincludes the subsequent treatment and remediation costs that are funded through the BPOUProject Agreement as well as the completion of the construction of the single pass ionexchange treatment equipment. In addition, SGVWC will be required by the DPH to constructan additional fixed bed ion exchange treatment system for the removal of nitrates. The WQABoard has allocated Restoration funds to partially offset the cost of construction of the nitratesystem. The second round of funding from Proposition 84, Section 75025 also provides fundsfor the nitrate system.

The WQA is assisting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department ofToxic Substances Control (TSC) in developing a long-term plan to guarantee the continuedoperations of the WNOU remedy and to ensure that the remedy is performing as required bythe WNOU Record of Decision (ROD).

Visitors: Mariana Lake, Valley County Water District Ken Woods, Valley County Water District Dan Arrighi, San Gabriel Valley Water Company Scott Goulart, Aerojet Norm Dupont, Reichold Ben Lewis, Golden State Water Company Mark Carney, City of Monrovia Greg Galindo, La Puente Valley County Water District Discussion Regarding Audit Request for Proposal (RFP) Mr. Manning reported that staff conducted an RFP for auditing services for a three year contract term. After evaluating the received proposals the top two candidates were:

· Mayer Hoffman McCann (“MHM”), the current auditor for WQA, earned the highest score of 25, with a fee for FY 12-13 of $21,630, and 210 hours budgeted. The Audit Partner is Jennifer Farr, who will be the main contact for the audit services

· Charles Z. Fedak & Company also has a score of 25, with a fee of $20,500 and 179 hours budgeted. The Audit Partner is Charles Fedak; the main audit contact will be Paul J. Kaymark, Audit Senior Manager.

Mr. Manning made note of the fact that the Charles Z. Fedak & Company’s proposal was a slightly lower fee and also estimated fewer hours to complete the audit than MHM. He indicated that staff would be comfortable working with either firm.

After general discussion, the committee requested that staff get a clarification from the Charles Z. Fedak & Company on their fees if they were to go over the proposed 179 hours and to take these top two candidates to the full Board for discussion with no recommendation from the committee. Discussion Regarding Draft Budget for 2013/2014 Mr. Manning presented the draft budget for 2013/2014 reflecting a $7.25/ acre-foot assessment. He reported that utilizing WQA’s portion of the SEMOU settlement Funds allowed for the assessment of $7.25 to remain the same as the previous ten years. He indicated that the Board would need to consider other options for the future to fill the funding gap once those funds run out. Ms. Saenz addressed some of the questions that Mr. Whitehead had asked in a previous meeting regarding any additional costs to be allocated to the projects. She noted that after further review she was able to allocate an additional $92k to projects which resulted in an increase in funding from PRP’s of $68k. Mr. Manning recommended that the assessment stay at $7.25 for this year and use this next year to discuss how to go forward. Mr. Byerrum commented that he felt it would be better if the assessment was increased gradually rather than all at once. Mr. Goulart commented on the dispute of costs that the Baldwin Park Operable Unit (BPOU) Cooperating Respondents (CRs) filed back in 2011 and questioned the revised allocation of costs. Mr. Dupont commented that it would be helpful if there was a page listing a breakdown of the CR’s costs vs. the non-CR’s costs for the BPOU. Mr. Aguinaga assured Mr. Goulart that the WQA wants to work with the CRs and address their concerns. Ms. Saenz commented that she would produce a separate page showing BPOU project committee costs and non-project committee costs. She also noted that she would coordinate a meeting with Mr. Goulart to discuss his concerns in more detail. Ms. Saenz noted that the draft budget would be discussed at the Budget workshop that was to be held immediately following this committee meeting and all changes would be incorporated and presented to the next budget workshop and public hearing scheduled for April 17, 2013. Executive Director’s Report Mr. Manning reported that AB 687 (Hernandez) the direct energy access bill made it out of committee on the previous Monday. He also noted that SB 429 (Hernandez) the WQA extension bill was expected to pass out of the Senate Appropriations committee the following Monday.

Stephanie Moreno Mary Saenz Dan Colby

Visitors: Chris Lancaster, Civic Publications Ken Woods, Valley County Water District Lenet Pacheco, Valley County Water District Gabriel Monares, The Monares Group Discussion Regarding Water Awareness Advertorial Ms. Moreno presented a copy of WQA’s Earth Day ad that was due to publish on Friday, April 19, 2013. Additionally, she reported that staff met with Mr. Lancaster to discuss the theme for a new ad that would be in the Water Awareness section of the L.A. Times in mid-May. She indicated that they discussed highlighting the 20th anniversary of the WQA as the topic of the ad. The ad would focus on where the agency started and the vision it had 20 years ago and where the agency is now and what the vision is for the future. Mr. Lancaster commented that he would like to upgrade this section to a glossy format to give the ad a longer shelf life and could be used as a hand out and educational resource for the future. He also suggested that staff coordinate with the Board Members to take some new photos to use in this ad as well as the future ones. Mr. Urias asked what the procedure was to get quotes from Board Members to use in these ads. Ms. Moreno responded by saying that once the text is written staff looks to acquire quotes that fit the theme of the story. Staff will contact the Chairman first for some input then usually rotate to the other members of the Board.

After brief discussion the committee recommended that staff move forward with the concept discussed using the 20th anniversary for the theme of the Water Awareness section of the L.A. Times. Legislative Activities/Reports State Mr. Schoellerman reported that AB687 (R. Hernandez), the Direct Access energy bill had passed through the Assembly Utilities & Commerce Committee earlier in the week and was expected to be heard in the Assembly Environmental Safety & Toxic Materials Committee on April 30th along with AB1043 (Chau). He also reported that that the WQA extension bill SB 429 (E. Hernandez) was expected to pass out of the Senate Appropriations Committee on April 15th. Next, he noted that ACWA took action at their last board meeting to support amendments that would remove all groundwater and recycled water funding from the proposed Water Bond. Mr. Monares reported that he was in the process of drafting a letter to ACWA to express concern for their action. He indicated that he would coordinate with other parties in the Basin. The committee requested that staff get more information on the action that ACWA took regarding the Water Bond and to bring it back for further discussion. Federal Mr. Schoellerman reported that staff continued its efforts with Congresswoman Chu to reintroduce legislation that would amend the current Restoration Fund authorization. Staff would keep the committee updated as things progress. Executive Director’s Report Ms. Moreno reminded the committee that the meeting date for the month of May was moved back one week to May 15, 2013 due to the ACWA conference. She noted that this date is also the same day as the SGV Water Association quarterly lunch meeting and asked if there was a desire from the committee to change the day or time of the meeting to allow for attendance at the Water Association meeting. After general discussion, the committee decided to move the time of the meeting on May 15, 2013 to 10:00 a.m.
