AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: AUGUST 26, 2002
SUBJECT: ANTDHCONSTRION TO UCT ON O(EPC)TA COMPLETE PRO PROPOSALS FOR IENT
HE NEW SUBSTATION
PROJECT AT 1 160 WEST GIADSTONE STREET
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council authorized staff to prepare a Request -
For -Proposal/ Qualifications (RFP/Q), and solicit a complete Engineering, Procurement and
Construction (EPC) proposal for constructing the new Azusa Substation at 1160 West
Gladstone Street.
BACKGROUND
Azusa Light & Water Department recently acquired the land at 1 160 West Gladstone Street
where new substation will be constructed. Thereafter, staff retained services of a demolition
contractor to perform preliminary site improvements which include demolishing existing
buildings and minor rough surface grading. Moreover, staff began making arrangements with
Edison for constructing the transmission lines that will serve new substation. Next step in
project development is to design and engineer the substation. In the electric utility industry, it
is common practice to employ an Engineer, Procure & Construct (EPC) approach in
constructing electric substations. The benefits of EPC are:
1) It reduces the project timeline and administrative burden to process multiple
agreements on separate engineering, procurement &construction contracts.
2) Quality control and cost savings will accrue if one seamless vendor or firm will be
doing the entire substation project as opposed to different parties dealing with un-
coordinated portions of project. "One -stop -shop" arrangement also eliminates
potential design problems & delays that normally arises in this type of specialized
Ir construction.
ry1W
3) EPC approach follows similar competitive arrangements in material procurement and
construction services and the possibility of savings will encourage EPC vendor to work
efficiently without sacrificing design standards and quality construction.
4) The major electrical equipment such as high voltage circuit breakers, power
transformers, control panels & relay equipments are not readily available but have to
be ordered, manufactured then delivered. EPC approach advances the procurement
process upon completion of detailed design and coordinates equipment installation
during construction stage thereby eliminating delays and potential design conflicts with
different vendors, suppliers and contractors.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project is budgeted during this fiscal year under Substation Capital Improvement Project
and funds are available in account #33-80-000-730-7101/82000A.

FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: AUGUST 26, 2002
SUBJECT: AB 2308 --REMOVAL OF INERT WASTE TONS FROM DISPOSAL REPORTING
SYSTEM USED TO CALCULATE WASTE DIVERSION PURSUANT TO AB 939
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve of the attached legislative letter
of support of AB 2308, to remove inert waste from the disposal reporting system.
BACKGROUND
AB 939 was approved in 1989, and required cities to divert 25% of waste from landfills by
1995, and 50% by the year 2000. Moreover, the law requires "tons" disposed at landfills with
"solid waste facilities permits" to be counted and used in calculating waste diversion.
Unfortunately, after AB 939 was adopted, a handful of facilities became subject to this "soli
td
waste facilities permit" that were not "typical" landfills.. These include the Peck Road Gravel
Pit, the Nu Way Live Oak Landfill, and the CALMAT Reliance Pit No. 2. These facilities are
land reclamation pits, and also operate under land reclamation permits. These facilities do
not accept municipal solid waste, only inert materials such as dirt, rock, asphalt, cement,
bricks, and ceramics.
The main purpose of filling these pits with inert materials is to reclaim or "recycle" the land so
It can be used for beneficial purposes. Hence, many cities, over the years since AB 939 was
adopted, have objected to these inert materials from being counted as regular trash just like
that is set out by residents each week. In fact, some have argued that this type of waste is
actually "diversion" and should be counted toward cities' recycling efforts. The State,
however, has been counting inerts disposed at these facilities as trash for purposes of AB 939
,,compliance. This became a concern in Azusa for the reporting year of 2001, the first full year
of the MRF program, because the Inert tonnage showing up through the disposal reporting
system Increased by over 5,700 tons compared to the tons disposed in 1999, which was a
year used in determining how much waste needed to be diverted via MRF processing to reach
the 50% waste diversion requirement. This underscored, again, the need to clarify how inert
materials should be counted in terms of AB 939 compliance.
Because of the noticeable increase of inert waste disposed from Azusa in 2001 (which
became known to us in late May 2002 due to revisions in County disposal reports) staff took
an aggressive position on this issue this year by working through a variety of
intergovernmental channels, and helped formulate the attached amendment. This
amendment would neutralize the effect the inert waste tonnage is having on our diversion
rate. We estimate that if this amendment is approved, Azusa will likely have a diversion rate
of over 50%; without the amendment, we will likely be below 50%.
It is our understanding at the writing of this report that the Senate Environmental Quality
Committee will adopt this amendment, however, it seems that more urging for its passage
would be helpful at this time.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact of approving this letter and forwarding it to the legislature.

Honorable Gloria Romero
California State Senate

SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO AB 2308 --INERT WASTE
POSITION: SUPPORT/ASSISTANCE REQUESTED
Dear Senator Romero,
The City of Azusa urges your support for the attached amendment of AB 2308, and would
appreciate any assistance you might be able to provide to ensure passage of this bill. We
understand this amendment is being adopted by the Senate Environmental Quality
Committee, however, it seems like there has been some delay in the amendment coming
forward out of committee raising concern as to whether the bill will make it through the
legislative process by August 31, 2002.
This bill is important to us because It addresses a longstanding problem with inert waste
counting against our recycling efforts. We have spent literally hundreds of thousands of
dollars on recycling programs to reach the 50% waste diversion requirement of AB 939, and
put new programs in place in the year 2000. We fully expected to meet this goal for the year
2001, however, unanticipated increases in inert waste tonnage was reported to us in May
2002, for the 2001 reporting year, which undermine our ability to reach the 50% goal and
comply with AB 939.
As you know, AB 939 was approved in 1989, and required cities to divert 50% of their waste
from landfills by the year 2000. However, the law and regulations require "tons" disposed at
landfills with "solid waste facilities permits" to be counted and used to calculate waste
diversion. Unfortunately, since the adoption of AB 939, a handful of facilities became subject
to this "solid waste facilities permit" that were not your "typical" municipal solid waste
landfill. In the San Gabriel Valley, these facilities include the Peck Road Gravel Pit, the Nu Way
Live Oak Landfill, and the CALMAT Reliance Pit No. 2.
These facilities are land reclamation pits, and also operate under land reclamation permits.
These facilities do not accept municipal solid waste, only inert materials such as dirt, rock,
asphalt, cement, bricks, and ceramics. The main purpose of filling these pits with inert
materials is to reclaim or "recycle" the land so it can be used for beneficial purposes. Hence,
-many cities, over the years since AB 939 was adopted, have objected to these inert materials
or waste being counted as "disposal" or as regular trash just like that set out by residents
each week. In fact, some have argued that this waste is actually "diversion" and should be
counted toward cities' recycling efforts. The State, however, has been counting Inerts as trash
,for purposes of AB 939 compliance.
This became a concern in Azusa for the reporting year of 2001, the first full year our
comprehensive recycling program was in effect. The program that the City Council approved
results in all waste that is collected by our franchised waste hauler, Athens Services, being
sent to a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) for separation and recycling. Materials recovered
through MRF processing include glass, plastic, metal, paper, organic materials, and some
inerts like cement. Because the inert waste that is taken to the above referenced land
reclamation sites is counted as trash through the disposal reporting system, and increased by
over 5,700 tons compared to the tons disposed in 1999, it is causing us to fall below the 50%
diversion requirement we have tried so hard to meet.
The re -occurring nature of this problem needs to be addressed legislatively, and staff from the
California Integrated Waste Management Board have agreed on this point. We cannot
continue to be exposed to liability under AB 939 for tonnage disposed of in land reclamation
pits, Just because of their permitting status. The proposed amendment would address our
concerns by neutralizing the effect this tonnage is having on our diversion rate. We believe
that this amendment is equitable and reasonable, has broad coalition support, and allows the
State proper oversight on all adjustments.
Azusa was very pleased to participate in the process to help formulate this amendment and
again urges your support. If you have any questions on this amendment, please call Cary
Kalscheuer, Assistant to the Director of Utilities, at (626) 812-5174.

SUBJECT: DECLARE PROPERTY SURPLUS AND OFFER TO SALE PURSUANT TO
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE
RECOMMENDATION
it is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council declares a vacant parcel, Assessor's Parcel No.
8608-003-903, surplus by resolution and authorize staff to proceed with disposition of said property in
accordance with California Government Code commencing with Section 54220 of Article 8, Division 2,
Title 5.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is generally located at the northern terminus of Canyon Heights Drive in Azusa. It
is one of the parcels the City acquired through acquisition of Azusa Valley Water Company. There is an
above ground water storage reservoir with appurtenant structure on this property. All these structure
_and equipment have been taken out of service three years ago. There is no planned use of this
property for either Water or Electric Utility in the future.
There is an interest from a private party wanting to acquire said property. However, in accordance with
California Government Code public properly for disposal has to be declared surplus by a resolution,
then it has to be offered to public or non-profit agencies within certain time limits. When and only after
offer to public and non-profit agencies has expired, the property can be advertised for sale to private
parties.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sale of the subject surplus property will generate one-time revenue, and also eliminate future
maintenance cost and potential liability exposure.

SUBJECT: TRANSFER OF WATER RIGHTS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council authorize staff to process an application
to the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster to transfer Azusa Agricultural Water Company's
water rights (Azusa's share) from Azusa Valley Water Company back to the City of Azusa.
BACKGROUND
The City of Azusa's share of Azusa Agricultural Water Company's (AAWC) water rights have
been treated as the City's entitlement and as such, have been used to off -set the City's water
production. These rights were transferred to Azusa Valley Water Company (AVWC) in FY 97-
98. The result created surplus of water rights in Azusa Valley Water Company and decreased
the available water rights in the same amount in the City's water system. Financially, AVWC
began to have excess water rights, but the City's water system required additional
replacement water purchases.
FISCAL IMPACT
Please see the attached estimates based on our records as of June 30, 2002.

SUBJECT: FLEX YOUR POWER ENERGY CONSERVATION AWARD
BACKGROUND
In response to the 2001 summer energy crisis and the governor's request for energy
reduction, the City of Azusa, led by Azusa Light & Water, created a multi -pronged approach
to reducing energy usage in Azusa. At the same time, the State of California created a Flex
Your Power communication campaign to educate the public on ways they could contribute to
the governor's goal of 10% energy reductions. Thanks to all the businesses, residents, and
government agencies, the State surpassed the governor's goal.
To celebrate this success, the State and Consumer Services Agency initiated a recognition
program and the winners would receive Flex Your Power Energy Conservation Awards. Azusa
Light & Water submitted an application on behalf of the City and was among the winners.
The awards ceremony was last Tuesday, August 20 in Sacramento.
Further, Aileen Adams, Secretary, State and Consumer Services Agency expressed an interest
In coming to Azusa and meeting our Utility Board members. She is Interested in our

PROGRAM STATEMENT
On March 19, 2001, Azusa, with 13,500 residential and 1,615 commercial electric customers, was notified
by Southern California Edison to drop load immediately, which triggered a rolling blackout. To respond to
the California energy crisis and avoid rolling blackouts in Azusa created a three -pronged approach to
reduce the need for electricity and avoid rate increases: (1) large business customer load reduction
program, (2) City facilities load reduction program, and (3) residential customer conservation program.
An estimated five -megawatt reduction in electric consumption from i l a.m. to 7 p.m. from May 1 to
September 31 would protect the City from rolling blackouts, in most circumstances, then a load reduction
maintenance program thereafter.
Business Custaner Program - Created to provide financial incentives to large customers to encourage their
energy reduction during peak hours. For flexibility, the program had two options - a fixed schedule of load
reduction or an on-call provision where customers would reduce a committed amount of load when called
upon. Our goal was four megawatts savings from this source. Seventeen of our 34 largest business
customer commitments combined to exceed the goal, ranging from 4.25 to 6.15 megawatts at all times
during peak hours. Further, Azusa Light & Water faxed and e-mailed updates on stages of Alert status to
business customers. Azusa Light & Water's web site and automated phone message were also updated
daily. To reach smaller business customers, utility representatives spoke to business groups about
conservation, provided energy tip handouts, and answered questions specific to their businesses.
City Facilities Program - The City Manager called City facilities into action by way of an Executive Order
- Electrical Load Reduction Program. The program required each City department to develop a set of
actions to reduce electrical load during Stages 2 or 3 Alerts issued by the Cal ISO. Each department was
also required to assign a specific employee to be responsible for implementing their department plan.
These department designees were notified of Alerts by e-mail. The Executive Order distributed
responsibility for enforcing conservation actions to all department heads and their employees. Azusa Light
& Water was pleased with the employee responsiveness. City facilities were able to reduce 1 megawatt
on-call. City departments reduced 14% and saved $12,700.00 compared to use the same time last year.
This brought our total business and City facilities electric load available for reduction to 5.25 - 7.15
megawatts. Additionally, an energy audit was conducted of City buildings and cost benefit analyses were
performed. Retrofits will be done in 2002 and will provide 48 kW demand savings and 875,000 kWh
savings..
Residential/Community Program - August was designated as Shorts Day in Azusa - The Coolest City in
California - to celebrate the 14% community -wide energy savings, 4% more than requested by the
Governor. The celebration began at 7 a.m. with free coffee, juice, and doughnuts, live music,
cheerleading, and karate demonstrations for an enthusiastic crowd of more than 300 who wore shorts as
they gathered at the City Hall plaza and were greeted by Azusa's mayor. This was followed by three
concerts at Memorial Park to encourage Azusa residents to give their appliances the evening off. Hand
fans, balloons, and energy tips were handed out to attendees.
Additionally, home energy audits were available to residents with a bonus giveaway of an energy-saving
compact fluorescent light bulb. Watts Up meters were purchased to demonstrate to customers how much
energy a specific appliance in their home uses. The meters are also available on a loan basis to customers.
One hundred home energy audits were completed during the summer by summer interns.
Children - A nationally -recognized conservation educational program was provided to all Azusa fifth
graders. Students received a kit with a compact fluorescent bulb and a low flow shower head plus a
checklist for conducting their own home energy audit. Sixth grade classes participated in a contest to
&eate and produce conservation videos. The three winning classes received prizes contributed by local
businesses. The videos were shown on Azusa's community television station during the summer.
SUMMARYSTATEMENT
The City of Azusa responded to the threat of energy blackouts by creating a holistic plan where everyone
in the city was able to participate in maintaining our quality of life in Azusa. The results were positive -
the City was prepared for the worst. We believe the success was due to the cohesive actions and positive
attitudes of the City's businesses, employees, residents, and children.
City employees saved $12,700.00 in energy costs and the total community made 5.25 - 7.15 megawatts
available for energy reductions, should we have been called upon to reduce load. This was more than our
targeted 5.0 megawatts.
This cohesive community effort has shown the community that, by working together, they were able to see
results - maintain non -interrupted electric service and avoid rate increases. Azusa businesses, residents,
employees, and children are all aware of the limited supply of energy and how they can each conserve.
For this accomplishment, Azusa Light & Water received an award from the California Municipal Utilities
Association, an association of 31 California municipal utilities, in the category 2002 Community
Service/Resource Efficiency Award Small Utility for our "2001 Load Reduction Program."
Additionally, State Senator Gloria Romero gave Azusa Light & Water a certificate of recognition for its
leadership and commitment for presenting the best energy conservation program in the Stats of California
and for serving as a model for all cities and counties. State Assemblyman Ed Chavez gave Azusa Light &
Water a certificate of recognition and Assembly Resolution in recognition of Azusa's commitment and
leadership in providing innovative and outstanding energy conservation program for its business and
residential community. Azusa is proud of its accomplishments.

ELECTRIC UTILITY OPERATING COST AND REVENUE PROJECTION FY 03-08
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council receive staff presentation, ask
questions, and defer the approval of recommended rate increase to a City Council meeting on
September 16, 2002, in conjunction with a Public Hearing for the same.
BACKGROUND
Retail electric rates have not been adjusted since 1992 for commercial and industrial
customers, and since 1994 for residential customers. Despite continual cost increases for
labor and materials since prior rate adjustments, the Electric Utility was able to offset these
cost increases through: (1) load growth (increased energy sales), and (2) more efficient power
resource management.
Electric deregulation beginning in 1996 not only disrupted Azusa's normal planning and
projection of the City's power supply, it turned the whole electric utility industry into disarray
and chaos: Azusa was one of the few fortunate ones whose Electric Utility came through the
warring period relatively unharmed. However, the wholesale energy market has been reduced
In size and supply compared to the pre -deregulation period, and the resulting energy prices
from a limited number of suppliers have become less competitive.
From the attached slides the customers of Azusa Light & Water still can take comfort that
Azusa's near term (FY 03-08) power supply costs are still quite stable, and hence there are no
significant revenue shortfalls. Increases in the 5-10% range will be needed as illustrated In
the projections. Staff will continue to update the Board and City Council of new
'developments in the energy market, as well as legislative and regulatory arenas that affect the
electric utility Industry.

energy efficiency improvements. Implement recommendations via retrofits, or by installation of new equipment or
fixtures.
Funding Source: Public Benefit Program Fund
Account Number: 2440-739-0826625
First Quarter Status: Completed Preliminary Energy Assessment for all City facilities using services of Planergy
Intemational. Prioritized potential projects into tiers, which represented those that were the most cost effective for City to
undertake.
Second Quarter Status: Directed Planergy International to complete their comprehensive energy assessment based on
priority projects identified by the City; comprehensive assessment will identify equipment and fixtures to be replaced and
provide cost estimates. Staff began researching outside funding sources for renewable projects.
Third Quarter Status: Directed Planergy to develop specifications and obtain firm pricing from contractors. Engaged in
legislative advocacy efforts to reverse pending CPUC decision to make outside funding available for renewable energy
projects undertaken by municipal utilities; we believe funding is now available.
Fourth Quarter Status: Cancelled Planergys involvement in project based on performance and cost concerns. Engaged
Mike Lorusso to manage retrofit work. Awarded contract to ALP Heating and Air Conditioning on May 28, 2002 for
replacement of 25 HVAC units. Began process of soliciting bids on lighting retrofits in June via informal bid process.
Year End Disposition: HVAC retrofit work in progress. Obtained three quotes on lighting retrofit work, and approved
proposal by California Retrofit, Inc. Work by them has begun.

Notes: Having Mike Lorusso on site to manage contractors and work off hours has worked very well. It has resulted in
better coordination with contractor of work, and less of an impact on staff. Issuing our own bid package rather than
having consultant do this, has reduced costs and resulted in city getting better equipment.

(Updated Aug 20, 2002)
The following is an update of the goals, objectives and planned projects for calendar year 2002. The
goals, objectives and the planned projects have been evaluated and will continue to be evaluated on an
ongoing basis to reflect the current regulatory and market environment. Unless otherwise stated, the
outlined projects have equal weight.
PROJECT 1: RESOURCE PLANNING ACTIVITIES
As the department continues to strive to provide cost effective electric power to Azusa's customers, the
following activities have been undertaken:
A. San Juan Unit #3 Performance Mitigation
INITIAL PLAN: As demonstrated in the past year, the department's ability to provide reliable low-cost
electricity is intricately tied to the performance of San Juan Unit #3. Planned and unplanned outages of
the unit have and will continue to cause adverse impacts to our objectives. The following tasks will be
undertaken to mitigate to the maximum extent possible the San Juan contingencies:
Al - Explore long term asset exchange arrangements with third parties
A2 - Explore asset divestiture arrangements
A3 - Explore joint reserve sharing arrangements
UPDATE. In early 2002 staff initiated contact with two utilities located in New Mexico to explore the
possibility of San Juan assignment arrangements. One utility, County of Los Alamos Utilities
Department, expressed interest in an assignment proposal made by staff. It is anticipated that next
month (September 2002), both utilities will enter into exclusive negotiations for the proposed
assignment
TIMELINE: ONGOING
B. SUMMER PEAKING RESOURCES (SUPPLY AND DEMAND SIDE OPTIONS)
INITIAL PLAN: As contracts with the city of Pasadena and BPA for peaking power expire at the end of
2002 and 2003 respectively, the department will need to develop strategies to fill its summer peaking
needs through new power contracts, ownership of generating assets, and/or demand side load
management programs. At this time it appears that options through new power contracts and load
management programs provide the most flexibility to manage city's peaking requirements.
UPDATE. Staff proceeded in procuring a 15 MW 4 year summer peak productfrom (June -September
2004-2007). Staff received bids from several counterparties who had established credit arrangements
with the City. The successful counterparty was Duke Energy.
TIMELINE: COMPLETED.
r
C. RENEWABLE ENERGY STRATEGY
INITIAL PLAN: As the state of California continues to consider the state's long term renewable energy
strategy (perhaps establishing a renewable energy portfolio standard), the department will need to monitor
and devise a strategy to face such potential challenges in the near future. Initial efforts will be taken to
identify long-term sustainable funding mechanisms of potential renewable energy procurement (either
due to legislative mandate or voluntary).
UPDATE: Staff has expressed interest in procuring 2 MW of renewable energy through SCPPA. A
geothermal project has been selected for further feasibility and technological review. Upon a thorough
review of the associated benefits and costs, SCPPA will proceed with such power procurement in union
with other interested SCPPA participants. If procured, this resource will diversify Azusa's resource
portfolio and serve as a mean to respond to future potential state mandates for renewable energy.
TIMELINE: ONGOING
PROJECT 2: CREDIT AND RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
INITIAL PLAN: As the events in the past few months attest, the electric industry is becoming a very
risky business. It is imperative that the department revisit its risk management policy to establish
consistent and cohesive policies. The activities in this area will encompass the following:
A. Review the terms and conditions of existing enabling agreements with third parties and revise or
enter into new enabling agreements with terms and conditions that provide the appropriate
protection to the city in case of defaults
UPDATE: Staff reviewed existing arrangements with third parties and pursued establishing new
master power purchase agreements such as EEI (Edison Electric Institute) and the WSPP credit
annex. Among the parties the City has new agreements are: Duke Energy Trading, American Electric
Power, Idaho Power Company, and UBS Warburg. Among the parties the City is in the process of
negotiating new agreements are: Sempra Energy Trading, BP Energy, and Pinnacle West Capital
Corporation.
TIMELINE: COMPLETED & ONGOINGAS NOTED ABOVE
B. Establish a consistent credit policy with respect to third parties. This will require the
establishment of credit limit as well as the ongoing monitoring.
UPDATE: Staff's completed agreements have established credit limits keeping the City and its
counterparties in check. Staff monitors credit limit fluduadons in accordance with future market
prices and monitors news and events that may affect counterparties financial strength (i.e.: particular
downgrades or upgrades in credit ratings,counterparty mergers -or breakups, dc) Any new
agreements with third parties wig also initiate the applicable monitoring.
TIMELINE: COMPLETED & ONGOING
C. Review and Revise Utility Rate Stabilization Funding Policy to replenish the depletion of RSF
TIMELINE: Target to have the revised policy by the end of first quarter 2002 for implementation by
rt fiscal year ending June 2002.

BOARDS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

DISCUSSION NOTES
FOR
AZUSA UTILITY BOARD/CITY COUNCIL

CHAPTER ONE A NEW VISION FOR GOVERNING BOARDS
I Type of board -- Profit, Non-profit, and Governmental
II Flaw in governmental sector -- where opportunity for leadership is the
greatest, job design for leadership is the poorest.
III Problems with public governing boards -- is not that a group of individual
occasionally slips into poor practices, but that intelligent, caring individuals
regularly exhibits procedures of governance that are deeply flawed: such as
A. Time on the trivials
B. Short-term bias, or focus on short-term or past
C. Reactive stance
D. Reviewing, rehashing, and redoing
E. Leaky accountability
F. diffuse authority
IV Board as a manager with overview management mentality. However, the
governing boards are different from General Managers in the following
respects:
A. Board to be accountable to themselves
B. Acts in moral sense as a legal one
C. Melding multiple peer viewpoints and values into a single resolution
D. Less disciplined as a group than any one of its members operating
alone
E. They are part-time and physically removed.
V New Governance
A. Cradle vision
B. Explicitly address fundamental values
C. Force on external focus
D. Enable an outcome -driven organizing system
E. Separate large issues from small ones
F. Force forward thinking
G. Enable proactivity
H. Facilitate diversity
I. Describe relationship to relevant constituencies
J. Define a common basis for discipline
K. Delineate the board's role in common topics .
L. Determine what information is needed
M. Balance over control and under control
N. Use board time efficiently.
CHAPTER TWO POLICY AS A LEADERSHIP TOOL
In public sector, management has advanced considerably, but the Governance has
not -- matured child dealing skillfully with immature parents.
The secret of governance lies in policy making.
The essence of any organization is what it believes, what it stands for, and what and
how it values. Its "works" rather than its "words" are the telling assessment of the
beliefs.
Leadership through policies -- Policy leadership clarifies, inspires, and sets a tone of
discourse that stimulates leadership in followers.
Four (4) reasons for policy -focused leadership:
A. Leverage and efficiency -- affect many issues with less effort
B. Expertise: Find CEO that compliments the board's skill
C. Fundamentals : Dealing directly with the fundamentals are certain to
address that which has enduring importance
D. Vision and Inspiration: Leaders must have vision and inspiration
Whether the board wishes to control narrowly or to lead more expansively,
governing through policies is the efficient way to operate.
Getting a handle on policies: Board are accustomed to dealing with specific
decision and with resolving specific problems. They tend to pride themselves on
being a decision makers and problem solvers. However, a board governed by
policies should ask: "What policies are represented here?"
To lead instead of follow, boards must get to the other end of the parade.
Categories of Board Policy:
A. Ends to be achieved -- What should be the results, how will our being
in business effect the world.
B. Executive Limitations — Be effective, prudent, and ethical
C. The Board -Executive relationship -- Delegation, CEO evaluation
t D. The process of governing itself -- Board's job classifications, what
principles or ground rules does the board use to discipline the process

By the way, would you please send me the resident's address where Joe Rocha had concern about tree
branches over power line? Thanks.

Hi Joe,
Just wanted to know what the status was on Item III -B, (the walk-on) Option Agreement with Los Alamos
County, New Mexico? The Board was going to get back to it and they didn't while I was there.
Also, was there any action taken with regard to Closed Session, and lastly, what time did you adjourn?
Thank you,
Candy

In regard to Item III -B, the Board took action to approve the Option
Agreement conditioned upon certain changes whereby the City would agree
to not market to any third party during the Option Period. However, the
determination of whether to enter into any agreement would be in the
discretion of the parties. The particular changes to the Option
Agreement I have proposed to Joe are attached.
No reportable action was taken in Closed Session. In regard to the
time of adjournment, Joe would probably have that information since I
left before the end of the meeting (the end of the meeting pertained to
the book review).
If you need anything further, please let me know. Thank you.
