He stated that Wholesale Electricity Forward Prices averaged $40 per megawatt hour, no change B. Tang from last report. With regard to Power Resource Cost Accounting, in October, with no major continued outages, net cost stabilized with about $1.5 million dollars on a mdnthly basis. He presented Current Events, as follows: Enron, the world's largest energy trading company is Current in sever financial distress due to heavy losses in non-core businesses. As of early October events Enron's stock was about $35 and on October 17'hthey reported a quarterly loss of Six Hundred Enron and Ninety Million dollars. They reduced their shareholder equity by one point one billion dollars. Financial They had a lot of off-balance sheet transactions. (They take off of their books certain debts and Distress finance large projects off balance sheet with debts, which obligates current company to pay off the debt under certain events, Enron had thirty-two of these). He detailed the events that have taken place since then. The following is taken from handout passed out at the meeting: • Enron, the world largest energy trading company, is in severe financial distress due to heavy losses in non-core businesses. • Dynegy, the 5"' largest energy trading company in the U.S., has offered to buy Enron. It is widely believed that without such buyout, Enron would have to file for bankruptcy. • There is a large uncertainty whether Dynegy-Enron Merger will garner the necessary regulatory approvals in time to save Enron. • Azusa currently has dealings with Enron through CY 2003. As of today, on a net -basis, Azusa owes money to Enron for all outstanding transactions. Staff is monitoring very closely the Enron situation, so that we are not adversely affected by Enron's fallout. (An Additional Update as of (11/26/01). • Enron's stock dropped another 50% just in the last week, putting its merger with Dynegy in jeopardy. • In order to protect city's financial interest, staff has converted all physical transactions with Enron to financial transactions, i.e., where city is buying from Enron before, staff sold back the same power to Enron. • The strategy is a necessary protection, since if Enron is bankrupt, all physical deliveries from Enron will most likely cease, exposing the city to replacement energy cost that may be highly unpredictable. • The net settlement with Enron at this point is city owes Enron about $2.6 million dollars in the next 24 months. If Enron goes bankrupt, the city may have to pay the entire amount up- front. Discussion was held between, Councilmembers and staff regarding any possible exposure Discussion contractually. Mr. Tang detailed the strategies for pre and post bankruptcy for Enron and the uncertainties he is trying to avoid. Lengthy discussion was held. Assistant Director of Resource Management Tang presented the San Juan #3 Diversification B. Tang Conceptual Strategy detailing the following: There are factors that warrant the city to look into San Juan #3 means to diversify holding in the unit for the long term. Diversity • Normal aging of unit (almost 20 -year old unit) will adversely impact the unit reliability in the Strategy coming years. • New coal sourcing contract will introduce additional risks to the San Juan unit. • Minority ownership by Azusa does not render effective management of plant performance by Azusa. Staff is beginning to investigate the possibility of diversifying city's San Juan ownership through exchanges or sales with third parties. Such strategy, if successfully implemented, may involve write-downs of asset values. 11/26/01 PAGE FOUR Utilities Director Hsu presented the Monthly Billing Report, noting there was nothing unusual Monthly about it and submitted it as an informational item.

HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES DATE: JANUARY 28, 2002 SUBJECT: BUDGET AMENDMENT TO FUND PUBLIC BENEFIT PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS i. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve of a budget amendment to appropriate $622,000 from the Public Benefit reserve account to the Public Benefit Energy Efficiency account to fund projects that are scheduled to be completed this fiscal year. BACKGROUND As required by Assembly Bill 1890, Azusa Light & Water has been charging a Public Benefit fee to its electric customers since January 1, 1998. AB 1890 required these funds be used for the public good with the utility creating programs in any or all of the following categories: low Income customer assistance; energy efficiency programs; research, development, and demonstration projects; and renewable resource projects. The City has earmarked funds for high value projects that will allow Light & Water customers using the program funds to reduce their cost of,electricity in the future. Funding for these programs and projects was not included in the fiscal year 2001-02budget since staff was unclear as to when the projects would be started. Meanwhile, Public Benefit funds collected have been growing in a reserve account, ready to be used for these projects. This request is to move funds from the Public Benefit reserve account to the Public Benefit Energy Efficiency account for such projects as the energy upgrades of municipal buildings, additional business upgrades, two hybrid vehicles, and residential rebate programs. FISCAL IMPACT This amendment is an appropriation of $622,000 from a reserve fund balance to an operating expense account so funds can be expended during this fiscal year.

HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES^ DATE: JANUARY 28, 2002 cv�� SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR RELINE OF WATER MAINS ON AZUSA LANE AND PARAMOUNT STREET RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve the award of contract to Spiniello Companies for the referenced main relining project. BACKGROUND The Water Division has experienced problems with leaks and numerous repairs on the 6 -inch water main in Azusa Lane and on the 20 -inch water main in Paramount Street. Both mains are located in streets that make replacement extremely difficult and expensive to perform. The Water Division has experienced great success with relining water mains where replacement is difficult, and proposes to eliminate the leak problems on the referenced streets by relining the problem mains. Relining water lines is a specialty line of construction in which Spiniello Companies has extensive experience. For that reason, and the success that we have had with Spiniello on past projects, and for the emergency nature of the relining projects, Spiniello has been selected by the Water Division on a sole source basis to do the work. Spiniello's proposed price to do the relining work is $27,667.00. FISCAL IMPACT Fiscal impact of the project will be $27,667.00 to be paid from the Capital Improvement budget for main replacements as approved for fiscal year 2001-2002. Prepared by: Chet F.

HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES 100 111 /.\ t� i�Taf d�Afa AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR PROJECT W-170, MAIN REPLACEMENT ON VARIOUS STREETS RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve the award of contract to Simich Construction for the referenced main replacement project. BACKGROUND The Water Division has an aggressive program of replacing water mains that are experiencing problems with leaks and that are, for various reasons, experiencing flow and pressure problems. The mains to be replaced in this project have both leak problems requiring constant repair and deliver less flow than is optimal for current residential area standards. Bids for the project were received by the City Clerk December 19, 2001, at 10:00AM. The bids received for the project are listed below and will be paid for out of Capital Improvement Budget items for Main Replacement for the fiscal year 200,1-2002. The following sealed bids were opened and declared by the City Clerk: Simich Construction Co.; Inc. $2,011,014.50 Engineered Plumbing, Inc. $2,042,507.50 Valverde Construction, Inc. $2,574,886.60 Robert Brkich Construction Corp. $2,668,066.50 The engineer's estimate was $2,372,804.50 FISCAL IMPACT Fiscal impact of the project will be: $2,011,014.50 to be paid from the Capital Improvement budget as approved for fiscal year 2001-2002.

HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES DATE: JANUARY 28, 2002 SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE STAFF TO NEGOTIATE TERMS & CONDITIONS AND THEN PRE- AWARD CONTRACT FOR PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES FOR NEW AZUSA SUBSTATION - 1 160 WEST GLADSTONE. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board/City Council: 1) authorize staff to negotiate terms & conditions of professional architectural services involving landscape design and wall treatment along frontage of new electric substation; and 2) authorize staff to pre -award architectural services contract to a selected consulting firm in the amount not -to -exceed $16,000 (Sixteen Thousand Dollars), subject to ratification by the Utility Board/City Council at the next meeting in February. BACKGROUND During its regular meeting held on 14 November 2001, the Azusa City Planning Commission approved proposed electric substation project to be constructed along Gladstone Street. As part of the Conditions of. Approval, Azusa Light & Water was required within 90 days, to present before Planning Commission, a conceptual plan for the architectural landscape design and wall treatment along frontage of substation site. Staff sent out Request for Proposals (RFP) to at least five consulting firms. There was wide disparity in the amount of consulting fees amongst the firms that responded to our RFP. Azusa Light & Water desires to retain services of an architectural firm who will do a good job in creating a wholesome frontage landscape/wall design which enhances aesthetic appearance of substation project along Gladstone Street for many years to come. Moreover, Azusa Light & Water desires that architect's scope of work be completed within reasonable expense while maintaining quality of work product. January 28, 2002 Page 2 of 2 In view of proposals already received and time needed to perform architectural design tasks within the remaining 90 days timeline, staff will negotiate terms &conditions of architect's scope of work and retain services of an architectural firm among the proposal respondents. In this way, Azusa Light & Water will be able to meet Planning Commission requirements while obtaining quality design services. Staff plans to bring back before Utility Board/City Council the pre -awarded contract for ratification and also present the substation's frontage landscape design and wall treatment for Utility Board's input or comments prior to final approval by City's Planning Commission. FISCAL IMPACT This project is budgeted this fiscal year under Project #230 - Electric Substation, and funds are available under account 33-80-000-730-7101/82000A. Prepared by. F.

HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES TO VIA: RICK COLE, CITY MANAGER DATE: JANUARY 28, 2002 SUBJECT: SELECTION OF A CONTRACTOR TO PROVIDE NEW MEDIA TO WATER TREATMENT PLANT RECOMMEDATION: It is recommended that ERS Industrial Services, Inc. be accepted as the contractor to remove the spent media and place new media in Filter #2. BACKGROUND: Periodically, the Water Division must replace the filter sand at its Water Treatment Plant when the sand becomes ineffective as a filter medium. Normally, the sand loses its effectiveness as a filter medium slowly, and the plant operator is able to schedule the sand replacement in advance. However, this particular replacement arose sooner than is normally anticipated and must be done on an emergency basis. The sand in Filter #2 has recently become clogged with balls of mud, perhaps due to turbidity caused by the offroad vehicle activity in the river, and consequently requires immediate replacement. To accomplish this replacement, the Water Division must hire a contractor to remove the spent media, clean the interior of the filters, and place the new media. In keeping with purchasing procedures for maintenance projects, informal bids were solicited from six contractors and two submitted pricing with the following results: $31,472.85 from ERS Industrial Services, Inc., and $39,788 from Roland L. Hartley, Inc. FISCAL IMPACT: $31,472.85 to be paid from the maintenance budget. PREPARED BY: Chet F. Anderson, P.E., Assistant Director- Water Operations AGENDA ITEM TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES DATE: JANUARY 28, 2002 SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF NEW NON-RESIDENTIAL NEW CONSTRUCTION PUBLIC BENEFIT PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION i It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve of the newly designed Non - Residential New Construction Program, and approve of a budget of $60,000 for the remainder of this fiscal year with funding from the Public Benefits Business Energy Partnership Program. BACKGROUND The Business Energy Partnership Program targets upgrading high energy consuming equipment at existing Light & Water business customers. Public Benefit funds rebate 50% of qualifying installations, such as lighting upgrades or air conditioning, to a maximum of $20,000. Azusa Light & Water budgeted $300,000 of Public Benefit funds in 2001-02 for the Business Energy Partnership Program. Unexpectedly, we also received funding of $141,960 from SBSX to be added to this program. A new business need has recently been identified for new business buildings constructed in the City of Azusa. Since they are installing new equipment, not retrofits, these businesses do not qualify for the existing Business Energy Partnership Program. The Redevelopment Agency anticipates this fiscal year three businesses would take advantage of a program designed for new buildings. Staff designed a proposed program to encourage owners of new business buildings in Azusa to Install energy efficient lighting and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) to a maximum rebate of $20,000. The program outline and application form are included in this package. FISCAL IMPACT Funding for this program will be provided from the Public Benefit Business Energy Partnership Program. AZUSA LIGHT & WATER f' AZUSA LIGHT A WATER Non -Residential New Construction Rebate Program 2001-2002 Lighting Application OVERVIEW Azusa Light & Water desires to collaborate with the Azusa Redevelopment Department to attract new business to the City of Azusa and to encourage installation of energy efficient lighting and HVAC in new buildings.

HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES JANUARY 28, 2002 TRANSFER OF WATER RECOMMENDATION I RIGHTS i This is for information and discussion only for the time being. BACKGROUND The City's water utility consists of several legally distinctive entities as evolved from different transactions in the past century. The City's own municipal water utility was established in 1901. The acquisition of majority ownership to Azusa Agricultural Water Company has no accurate record. But Azusa Agricultural Water Company is one of the original parties to the . Compromise Agreement of 1889, establishing the San Gabriel River Water Committee, or commonly referred to is Committee of Nine. And then the acquisition of Azusa Valley Water Company in 1993. In summary, the Azusa water utility is composed of Azusa municipal water system (Azusa), 83% of Azusa Agricultural Water Company (AAWC), and Azusa Valley Water Company (AVWC). Through adjudication of water rights in the San Gabriel Basin by the California Superior Court of Los Angeles in 1973, each of the above entities was adjudicated the following water rights: City: 3655.99 Acre-feet; AAWC (City's share): 2267.73 Ac -Ft; and AVWC: 10696 Ac -Ft. Prior to the acquisition of AVWC, the City normally produced, or sold, more water than the combined water rights from the City and AAWC, or 5923.72 Ac -Ft annually. To make up for the over production, the City bought replacement water from the Upper San Gabriel Municipal Water District, where Mrs. Carol Montano represents the City on its board. AVWC, on the other hand, can normally cover its production with its water rights, and hence requires no replacement water Page 2: Utility Board 1/28/02 - Transfer of Water Rights Beginning in 1999, after physical integration of water systems of the City's and AVWC's, a transfer of AAWC's water rights to AVWC was executed, resulting carryover water rights under AVWC account, which enabled the City to market the surplus water rights from time to time to generate revenues not tied to retail operations. Recently, strong concerns were expressed by the Upper San Gabriel Municipal Water District that it had to provide substantial amount of replacement water for the City, and alleged the City might be supplying its water outside the District boundaries. Another concern was expressed by the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster that our transaction has caused funding shortage in its replacement water account. Several meetings have taken place among the above mentioned agencies to seek resolution to the problems caused by our transfer. 1 would like to have a discussion and present my recommendation on this subject during the board meeting, and answer any questions you may have.

HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES/1� DATE: JANUARY 28, 2002 SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE DEVELOPMENT AND RELEASE OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS FEASIBILITY STUDY RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council authorize staff to develop and release a Request for Proposals for a Telecommunications Feasibility Study that will examine the benefits of activating a Government/institutional Fiber Network, and also explore the business potential of wholesale and retail telecommunication services. BACKGROUND From September 2000 through April 2001, the City Council and Azusa Light & Water staff participated in a strategic planning process which resulted in a recommendation to form a Utility Board, and to begin development and implementation of new services.. Some services Identified included telecommunication or telecom services. Before investing in the infrastructure to provide telecom services, the American Public Power Association (APPA) advises that public utilities first conduct feasibility studies of the services under consideration to determine their market potential, risk, and return on investment. In researching the different approaches being taken by public utilities, staff believe the scope of work for our study should examine the following service segments: (1) Government/ Institutional Network; and (2) Wholesale and Retail Services. These are discussed below in more detail. Governmental/Institutional Network. The City currently pays about $250,000 annually for telephone and high-speed internet services. We may be able to defer these costs If we can develop our own telecommunications services using a fiber optic network that was installed by Charter Communications and extends to most City facilities. This network may be activated under certain terms and conditions included in the City's franchise agreement with Charter Communications, and could be useful for other applications as well. In this case, the City would be the customer of the 'network, with potential use by schools in Azusa. Wholesale Services. Wholesale services could be provided through an "open access" fiber optic network which the City would have to construct. Wholesale services include leasing dark fiber (un-lit fiber) and providing bandwidth (lit fiber) management services. Potential customers include telephone service carriers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Wireless Service Providers, Application Service Providers (ASPS), and Cable TV Companies. Another wholesale service is to lease utility facilities to companies serving wireless providers, for example, leasing power poles to serve as mounts for micro transmitters. Retail Services. Retail services are those most familiar to us as consumers: telephone, high speed internet, cable television, security, and computer networking for businesses. Because of Azusa Light & Water's existing customer base, there may be a potential for the utility to diversify into these retail telecom services. However, the initial cost to service these customers is high compared to wholesale customers, and the risk exposure is greater. While tasks carried out through the feasibility study will vary for the services considered, we envision that consultant(s) will, at a minimum: (1) identify stakeholders or target markets; (2) identify potential services; (3) assess existing network and potential uses; (4) identify costs to activate existing network and cost savings; (5) conduct focus group meetings to determine needs, preferences and customer satisfaction levels with incumbent providers; (6) conduct market research including penetration rates for wholesale and retail services identified; (7) conduct a competitive analysis; and (8) prepare financial model including return on investment projections. The services listed in this report are not meant to be exhaustive, and will expand significantly as the study process unfolds. Through this study, recommendations will be sought with respect to what telecom markets to enter, which telecom services to provide, how services would be provided organizationally, and what benefit would be realized by the City and Utility from providing these services. We estimate the study will take from 6 to 9 months to complete. With the Board's authorization, staff will develop and release an RFP for a telecom feasibility study as outlined above. Responses will be reviewed and one or more proposals will be presented to the Board for consideration, probably at the May 2002 Board meeting. FISCAL IMPACT Cost for the study is estimated at $75,000 to $100,000, and a funding source will be identified at the time proposals are presented to the Board for consideration.

HSU DATE: JANUARY 28, 2002 SUBJECT: SAN GABRIEL BASIN WATER QUALITY AUTHORITY BOARD N ELECTION .. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Azusa Utility Board cast Azusa's votes by resolution for Mr. Rogerf Chandler, a council person from the City of Acadia, to the Water Quality Authority Board. BACKGROUND Mr. Chandler's resume and a personal letter seeking Azusa's support are attached. In addition to Mr. Chandler's history in public service, and his proven record of advocating Improvements to water Infrastructure In the San Gabriel Valley, Acadia's position would most likely in line with Azusa's since both cities draw water from the same basin.

Mr. Chris Christiansen, former Mayor of the City of Covina, was elected to this Board and has been serving faithfully on behalf of the pumping cities. In conformance with AB 152, Mr. Christiansen must step down from the WQA Board since he is no longer an elected official. It is imperative that the good work of the WQA Board continues, and that pumping cities such as yours and mine be represented by an active Council Member. I have the administrative skills, the time and the interest, and I ask you to elect me as your representative to the Board. I have worked closely with Congressman David Drier to obtain federal funds for water projects for the cities of Arcadia and Sierra Madre. The Congressman's recent attempts to reach a compromise with the Army Corps of Engineers are critical to the projects the WQA is overseeing. Cleaning up the drinking water in the San Gabriel Valley must be a common goal for all of us. I have attached a brief resume, and would appreciate your support when the time comes to elect a representative on the WQA Board for the cities with pumping rights.
