Executive Summary
North East Trees for the t
City of Azusa,California
January 2003 I t
The San Gabriel Canyon, located at the gateway between the steep and rugged San Gabriel Mountains and
the highly urbanized San Gabriel Valley, is a unique and special resource in Southern California.The
canyon has unparalleled beauty as well as rare and sensitive biological resources.There are critical water
utility operations, valuable sand and gravel mining operations and residential developments all in close
proximity to wilderness of Angeles National Forest. As land is developed and developmental pressures
continue to increase in the Canyon itself and along the entire San Gabriel River, it is becomes increasing
important to carefully plan for the long term sustainability of the valuable resources the canyon offers.
The San Gabriel Canyon Vision Plan and Design Guidelines provides a framework for future restoration
and watershed sensitive development of the San Gabriel River and Canyon in the city of Azusa,California.
The plan seeks to address the following goals: to enhance recreational and educational opportunities in San
Gabriel Canyon, to facilitate ecosystem restoration in San Gabriel Canyon and to develop a cohesive
regional identity for San Gabriel Canyon.
A detailed examination of the Canyon's context including its regional and local context, historical context,
planning context, and site character provides the basis for recommendations regarding future projects in the
Canyon.These recommendations are applied to four projects currently in planning stages by the city in the
canyon: San Gabriel River Regional Bike Path Extension,San Gabriel Canyon Spreading Basins
Landscape Improvement Project. San Gabriel River and Angeles National Forest Gateway Interpretive
Center, and the Azusa Canyon River Park. In addition to these four projects, an examination of trail
connections and a riparian habitat restoration plan form the basis of a long term sustainable vision for the
canyon presented in 3 phases: present through 2005, 2005—2009,and 2009—2059.
To provide the tools required to fulfill this vision,design guidelines and standards are given. The guidelines
offer direction for sustainable construction practices and a unified aesthetic for the canyon. They are
presented in four categories: paths and surfaces, metalwork and fencing, lighting, and amenities. Detailed
signage standards including sample layouts provide a uniform pallet of directional signage, interpretive
signage, kiosks and safety signage. General planting guidelines,including a description of the native
planting ethic and water conserving drip irrigation,offer the final part of the tools to achieve the fulfillment
of a sustainable future for San Gabriel Canyon.
For future reference,a description of the project implementation process is provided, including project
management strategies from project conception,to survey,to permitting, to implementation with special
consideration for environmental impacts of development in natural resource areas.
The city of Azusa has a unique opportunity to lead in the protection of the natural resources of the San
Gabriel watershed,river and canyon.We offer this study with the hope that it will serve as a valuable tool
in maximizing the protection and beauty of the San Gabriel Canyon in the Azusa.

About North East Trees
North East Trees (NET) is a nonprofit environmental organization dedicated to designing, constructing
and preserving green space in Northeast Los Angeles. Since 1990, NET has planted over 18,000 trees.
Founded by Scott Wilson - an educator, landscape architect, contractor and arborist - the grassroots
organization is recognized for its creation of innovative, native-based sustainable designs, and forging
bonds between their projects and the communities around them.
"Ifigured out a long time ago - more trees are better."—Scott Wilson
URBAN GREENWAY ON THE LOS ANGELES RIVER AND ARROYO SECO
Principal among NET's long-term goals is to improve the environment and recreational value of the Los
Angeles River, the Arroyo Seco and other city riverways. In 1992, NET began work to obtain funding and
permits, design, install and maintain a greenway along the urban rivers and streams in Northeast Los
Angeles, an area rich with historical bridges, communities and natural habitat. These rivers once formed
an important wildlife corridor linking the Santa Monica Mountains with the San Gabriel Mountains, but
today are heavily urbanized and fragmented.
As a result of these efforts, today over 10 miles of the Los Angeles River and Arroyo Seco have been
planted with thousands of native trees, creating miniparks, wildlife habitat and improving access for
pedestrians and cyclists. The greenway development of NET links the area's three major parks - Griffith,
Elysian and Debs - and is a model for interagency cooperation to improve watersheds in an urban setting.
NET has taken a leadership role in conservation planning. In 2001, NET's Arroyo Seco Watershed
Restoration Feasibility Study was voted a top watershed model for the state by lawmakers in Sacramento.
NET is also preparing a Riparian Habitat Restoration Study for the City of South Gate. Ultimately, NET
hopes to create a greenway corridor along waterways from the mountains to the Pacific Ocean.
WATERSHED PLANNING & STREAM RESTORATION
NET has completed the watershed restoration feasibility study for the Arroyo Seco in conjunction with the
Arroyo Seco Foundation. NET is currently working on a watershed restoration plan including education
and outreach for the Arroyo Seco. NET is engaged in watershed sensitive master planning for the city of
Azusa. NET is working on cutting-edge projects that will address issues of water quality and water supply
for the region. NET is working on a restoration of the San Josh and Lario Creeks in the San Gabriel River
watershed. NET is mapping historic streams throughout the region including Ballona, Arroyo, and L.A.
watersheds.
STREET TREES AND TREE CARE
Street trees directly contribute to improved air and quality of life. NET has worked closely with thousands
of Los Angeles residents to plant trees on over 50 local city streets. To support and encourage proper care
of young trees, NET periodically schedules tree care and pruning workshops to train local gardeners and
homeowners.

North East Trees is a non-profit organization improving communities in Northeast Los Angeles by planting an urban tures(.
TRAINING AND ENRICHMENT FOR AT-RISK YOUTH
NET provides ongoing training and employment for local at-risk youth. The staff uses urban forestry as
the vehicle for skill training, teamwork and personal responsibility...all the while making a visible
difference in local communities. Youth considered at-risk develop employment skills, contribute to their
communities and earn a paycheck. The involvement of young people in our programs is central to our
mission.
VOLUNTEERS AND OUR COMMUNITY
NET offers opportunities for the community to get involved in our programs. Volunteer events occur
every month and encourage community pride and participation while giving individuals a chance to learn
about tree planting, habitat restoration, tree care and the environment in their own community.
EDUCATION AND CAMPUS GREENING
NET has completed over 35 forestry projects at local schools. These projects include planting shade trees
to beautify, save on energy costs and improve air quality. Each planting design is based on the specific
needs of the site and the interests of the campus community. Schools participating in the "Green 'Islands"
and "Cool Schools" programs have also benefited from the education programs delivered classroom by
classroom teaching how to adopt and care for the young trees.
NATIVE HABITAT RESTORATION PROJECTS
NET has restored unique and rare habitat lands including the Southern California Black Walnut woodland
in Rainbow Canyon and Elyria Canyon Park in Mount Washington as well as critical habitat along the Los
Angeles River and the Arroyo Seco. NET works diligently with conservation ecologists to rehabilitate
lands, utilize native plant materials and restore diversity.
WORK WITH PUBLIC AGENCIES
NET possesses a sterling reputation for professionalism, working closely with public agencies on several
levels including funding, permitting and cooperative partnerships. NET's programs are structured to
incorporate elements required by funding agencies such as employment for youth, low administrative and
overhead costs, compliance with required schedules and detailed reporting and documentation of projects.
Funding from public agencies has included LA County Regional Parks and Open Space District, the
California Department of Transportation, California ReLeaf, Metropolitan Transit Authority, the
California Department of Forestry and the Department of Water and Power (DWP). Permitting
agreements exist with LA County Department of Public Works,CalTrans, City of LA Street Tree
Division, DWP and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. NET has developed cooperative programs with
the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, a joint powers authority of the Santa Monica
Mountains Conservancy, to develop the LA River Greenway.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AND APPROVAL TO MODIFY COLLECTION PRACTICES

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Utili Board/Ci Council approve:
1. Changing the Electillic and Water Rul and Regulations to limit accepting credit
card payments to $ or le
2. Joining the California Utility Exchange (CUE) for a one-year trial period.
3. Initiating a request for proposals for collection agency service.
BACKGROUND
Azusa Light &Water adopted accepting credit cards for utility bill payments in April 2000.
The bank charges us 2% of the credit card charge. In the beginning this was a small amount
but now that many customers use this—form of psant over 4t 1O Mn per
,y ypjcaljy 4a h. cinPcc I�tomers take advantage of this payment optiori which costs
Azusa Light 8 Water mast of the $10 000. Of those, only 14 pay bills hlgber t�0. An
average o(-_3115,zes dential customers oa by credjt cardwith only 2 of those paying bills for
more than $500 and represents 92% of the credit card charges. Our remaining customers are
carrying the burden of the 2% convenience charge. To reduce the size of the burden, Azusa
Light &Water recommends offering the credit card payment option only for bills $500.00 or
less.
Azusa Light &Water has used Equifax to check credit rating of new utility account applicants
since January 2001. if customers pass a certain minimum score their prepayment Is waived.
Our unpaid Trite-offs have been steady risingover the last three years from $64,000 per
year to-, 75,000 in the first 6 months of 2002-03. This is particularly high due to write—uffs-
of335;U0&of old bankrupt closed accounts that occurred earlier this fiscal year. Equifax has
011
another product that would be beneficial to us. It is the National Consumer Telecom &
Utilities Exchange, Inc., or CUE. It is a member-owned database housed and managed by
Equifax. Membership is available to any of the nation's telecommunication and utility
companies. How it works is members transmit to Equifax their new applicant information to
be added to the central database. Other utilities that had a customer leave without paying
their bill will find a match if that customer moved to our city. The same works for us. We
would also report our unpaid accounts to the database, hoping for a match with the utility
jurisdiction where the customer moved. Other California utility members include: City of
Long Beach, Sacramento Municipal Utility District, Southern California Edison, City of
Glendale, PG&E, Los Angeles Department of Water &Power, City of Anaheim, and Southern
California Gas Company. It is very likely that if a customer moves from Azusa they would be
moving to one of these locations and we could get their new address for skip-tracing. Based
on experience, Equifax projects we would get a 35% match rate and could probably collect
20-30% of these. We keep 100% on the accounts we collect in-house; if they are collected by
the collection agency we receive only 60°%o. We would be able to send the closed accounts
we are unable to collect to a collection agency with good addresses, increasing their ability to
collect for us.
Lastly, Azusa Light &Water has been using Tal Lewis, Inc. collection agency since October 24,
1983. The maximum contract length allowed by the City's Purchasing Policies and Procedures
is five years. We are requesting approval to rebid the collection agency.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is a $450 monthly minimum billing for batch data submissions to the Equifax CUE. We
can expect to pay between $450 -$500 per month. In addition, there is a $750 set-up
charge.

BACKGROUND
The City of Azusa's phone switch is an Avaya G3r (formerly purchased from AT&T BCS and
Lucent Technologies). This phone switch was originally installed in May 1995 and has
received only one significant upgrade in 1997 to support the City's INET fiber to Memorial
Park and Transportation offices. Phone switching equipment such as Azusa's is a significant
long term investment, since systems typically have a useful service life of between 10 and 20
years. As Azusa's equipment is reaching the midpoint of its service life, the City's Information
Technology management staff has spent the past year planning for a significant series of
upgrades which are intended to not only extend the service life of the equipment, but also
significantly expand the system's functionality. In configuring this upgrade, staff has focused
on technologies that meet three project goals, they include: 1) Regular and preventative
maintenance, 2) Investment protection, and 3) Expanded internal and external
communication capabilities. The following outlines how each of the proposed items meets
these goals in order to improve the City's telecommunications capabilities.
Resular/Preventative Maintenance. As noted in the paragraph above, the last operating
system upgrade was performed in 1997. Currently the operating system in use at Azusa (116)
is several revisions behind the current standard (R12). This impacts the City's ability to
maintain the equipment and restricts our ability to add new features for all departments.
With the new OS, staff will be able to offer improved support to the City's staff through
features such as dynamic call coverage that will forward calls to the employee's Nextel phone,
effectively making their office phone and Nextel one in the same. This upgrade also
addresses key maintenance issues related to equipment obsolescence. Both the main switch
and the Call Management System in use at Azusa Light &Water have technology in key areas
which is no longer sold or maintained by Avaya. The new operating system will enable the
retirement of this obsolete equipment, as well as bring the existing equipment up to current
industry standards for functionality.
Investment Protection. The City's phone system was a major investment back in 1995.
When it was first installed it was a major leap forward for the City's way of doing business,
and with a few minor additions and only one upgrade since, the system has continued to
meet the City's needs. With the proposed upgrades the system will be able to continue to
meet these, and new needs, for hopefully another 8 years. By adding new technologies such
as VOIP capability, LAN connectivity, and new voice announcement over LAN board, we are
able to effectively recreate the switch into something new without replacing it. Investment
protection is achieved because the existing hardware will be utilized side by side with new
technology, allowing the City to continue to benefit from the original investment made in
1995.
Enhanced.Capabilities. In 1995 the G3r was a huge improvement over the City's prior
phone system. Automated attendants, voice mail, and call routing were all significantly
Improved. Over the past 8 years expectations and needs have changed. The proposed
upgrades are targeted at addressing our current deficiencies without the unnecessary expense
of replacing the City's existing switch. The four key capabilities that will be enhanced include:
1) Announcements. Automated attendants are a key to routing calls for the City. Currently
our ability to expand and revise call handling is restricted by a lack of announcement board
r space. The new announcement boards will offer 15 times the amount of recording time
currently available as well as improving the quality and recording means. 2) New Extensions.
Currently digital phone service Is only available where the city has run the copper cabling to an
f Expansion Port Network (located at City Hall, Azusa Light &Water, Police, Memorial Park and
I `
020
Transportation). These connections require physical connections to port cards. To add
capacity means having not only the wiring available;•but also a port on the switch. With VOII
future phones will require no cabling as the signal will run on the City's data network.
Outlying areas served by the network, but not by the switch, (Water Treatment Plant and
Gladstone Water Yard) will finally able to have full phone services. The VOID technology will
also support future phone requirements of Azusa Light R Water's proposed electric substation
and new electric yard. Up to 12,000 telephones can be added without the City needing to
purchase another digital port. 3) Call Coverage. Call coverage and routing are key issues for
maintaining good customer and constituent services. With the new operating system the
switch's vectoring capability will be almost doubled. This will allow the IT staff to offer
improved call routing and coverage. 4) Improved Support. The new upgrades will also
make maintaining the switch easier as obsolete diai up support modems will be replaced with
software accessible from anywhere on Azusa's network. Additionally new functionality such
as a Holiday Table will make support significantly more efficient.
FISCAL IMPACT
The funds for the switch upgrade were budgeted in the current fiscal year capital budgets of
both the General Fund and Azusa Light &Water. Upgrade expenses related to the operating
system, VOID, and announcement board are allocated such that General Fund will pay 60%
and Azusa Light &Water will pay 40%. The BCMS upgrade was allocated 100°%o to Azusa Light
&Water as its functions are exclusively used by the Customer Service Call Center. The
General Fund's share of the upgrade is $37,500 and the remaining $45,000 will be paid out of
Azusa Light &Water funds.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 1995, the City of Azusa invested in a telephone switch (G3r) from AT&T BCS. At the time it
was a state of the art telecommunications system that far exceeded the City's existing
capabilities at the time. The City, chose wisely, and invested in a solution that would not only
address the deficiencies in the prior equipment, but would also have a long service life and be
expandable to grow with new emerging technologies.
In 1997, this choice demonstrated its expandability with the upgrade of new fiber technology
from Lucent Technologies, which allowed the City to save money by implementing fiber
connections to replace leased lines. These upgrades, and the operating system installed at the
time have now been in service for 5 years.
The City's IT staff has approached Daycom with the challenge of upgrading the existing phone
switch so that current deficiencies can be address as well as positioning the City of Azusa to
take advantage of new features and technology. We believe that the upgrades outline below will
position the current communications system for service well beyond its original 10 year service
life.
Some of the keys elements of upgrading the current system are as follows:
Upgrading the switch operating system and equipment to support Multivantage. By
upgrading the operating system to Multivantage, this not only brings the system up to date with
Avaya's current standard, it will also replace obsolete equipment, enabling new technologies,
and improving ease of administration for the City's staff.
Add LAN connectivity and Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP). Voice and data now coexist
on the same network. No longer will the City need to invest in circuit cards and costly cabling.
VOIP will save the City money over the long run through lower costs for additions and support.
Better quality recordings. The City is currently out of the limited amount of announcement
time available on the existing equipment. The proposed announcement boards-that are part of
this proposal will not only increase the amount of announcement time (capacity) by a factor of
15, it will enable a demonstrable improvement in quality and capability.
Call Center Reporting. The current Call Management System, originally purchased from AT&T
in 1995 is now obsolete and ineligible for support from Avaya. As part of the upgrade the City
will be purchasing Avaya's BCMSVu, which will allow the City to view and print similar Call
Center data, but without the hassle of maintaining the obsolete existing equipment.
In summary, the City of Azusa's initial major investment was a very well thought out one in
regards to vision and future technology. The proposed upgrade is key to extending the vision
beyond the next 10 years.

The Avaya System upgrade will provide solutions in four different areas:
1) OPERATING SYSTEMS UPGRADE
The current operating system (OS) for the City of Azusa telephone system was
installed and manufactured over 5 years ago. It is a working but antiquated
technology. Avaya, and all telecommunications companies at that time, had
proprietary operating systems. This meant that the telephone system required a
separated network from the data network. Administration costs, maintenance, and
software costs were higher due to the proprietary network. The current OS is
changed to a new architecture where the system operates on an industry standard
OS is replaced by an industry standard, high reliability OS called Linux. Over time
this will drive down administrative (only one network to administrate),
maintenance, and software solutions costs as the network will no longer be
proprietary and be part of the overall data network. The OS upgrade also make
possible the technology for all of the solutions below.
2) VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL (VOIP)
Traditional telephone systems used proprietary network technology to connect and
switch telephone calls within an organization. The long emerging standard is a
technology that uses Internet Protocols to send voice calls across the data
network as packets and is called Voice over Internet Protocol. The City of Azusa
will utilize this technology to improve communications to City locations, which now
must have extensive proprietary telephone equipment and special phone lines in
order for these sites to be on the current telephone system. Since these sites are
already connect to the existing data network, voice calls can now be sent over the
data network and Internet Protocol telephones will replace that proprietary existing
telephones. Avaya has assessed the City network and conduced a trial of this
technology and the voice quality and reliability were tested and were equal in
reliability and voice quality to the existing solution. This technology will both
improve communications to these sites, save on cost of equipment, and on
telephone system maintenance costs (or allow the telephone equipment to be
used elsewhere).

3) CALL CENTER REPORTING (BCMS)
Customer call data to the City are currently collected by the telephone system and
then sent to an Avaya call management system (CMS), which formats and gives a
number of standard and custom reports for use by management. This software
and hardware platform is over eight years old and is no longer supported by
Avaya. The Avaya system upgrade will replace a non-supported reporting system
with the most current Avaya call management system. The upgrade will give City
Managers 11 standard reports on telephone calls to the City call centers. In
addition, five supervisors will have real-time information on their desktop
computers on call center activity. This gives the supervisors the ability to make
decisions based upon current activity in the call center and to be aware of
conditions such as long hold times that require action. The new call management
system on co-resident with the telephone system.
4) ANNOUNCEMENT TO CUSTOMERS (VOICE ANNOUNCEMENT OVER LAN)
During a telephone call to the City call center, callers will hear a number of
announcements. These announcements are subject to change over time.
Additional menu choices and information are recorded and stored on the voice
messaging system due to lack of storage in the current system. The system
upgrade will enable the City to move these announcements from the voice
messaging system to the new storage board, which plays the messages over the
data network. The current limited capacity for storage of announcements will be
increased to a sufficient long-term amount of storage. The system upgrade will
give 60 minutes of high voice quality announcement storage.

no less than 868 square feet and sufficient parking to include no less than 15 visitor parking
spaces.
U. S. Forest Service agrees to pay the City $12,000 per.year as lease payment provided that if
the City obtains a federal grant, or other federal funding, In connection with construction and

AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD AND
AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES^v
DATE: JANUARY 29, 2003 v 4J
SUBJECT: PILOT WATER CONSERVATION GRANT PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board/City Council authorize staff to develop a pilot
water conservation grant program to promote use of drought tolerant plants/trees for landscaping
for a period of one year with a budget not-to-exceed $150,000.
BACKGROUND
Because much of the water sold by utilities is used for landscape maintenance, many water utility
conservation programs include some incentive to encourage the use of drought tolerant plants
and water efficient irrigation systems. Given persisting drought conditions, staff proposes
development and implementation of a pilot program that would make some funds available to
residents, businesses, and schools, for drought resistant plants and trees. An Initial budget of
$150 000 s suggested for this grant program. Funds would be made available to water utility
customers that apply for the funds. A simple application form and agreement would be used to
administer the program. The application process would be open (no deadlines) and funds would
be provided up to a limited amount, on a first-come first-serve basis, over a 12 month period.
The application package would seek to ensure that funds are allocated fairly, and that the funds
go for their intended purpose—to encourage landscaping with plant materials that will reduce
water usage. If the Utility Board approves of this program concept, staff will prepare a short
application package for consideration by the Board at its next meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
Up to $150,000 for 12 month pilot program, approximately I% of annual water revenues, with
funding coming from water fund balance.

INFORMATIONAL ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JANUARY 29, 2002
SUBJECT: SB 1078—RENEWABLES PORTFOLIO STANDARDS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council review this report and provide any
relevant comments or questions to staff.
BACKGROUND
In September 2002, SB 1078 was approved to require retail sellers of electricity to increase
their purchase of energy from renewable sources, such as wind, photovoltaic (PV), biomass,
landfill gas, solar thermal, fuel cells, geothermal, small hydro (up to 30 megawatts), etc. SB
1078 requires that retail sellers Increase their purchase of energy from renewables by at least
1% per year until a renewables portfolio standard is reached which makes up 20°%o of seller's
overall energy purchases.
Since municipal utilities are not regulated by State agencies that oversee investor owned
utilities, SB 1078 treats municipal utilities differently by delegating the responsibility for
development of the renewables portfolio standard to the local governing body of each
municipal utility. According to the California Municipal Utilities Association, the local utility
board may determine: (1) what constitutes renewables; (2) what percentage of the portfolio
will be made up of renewables; and (3) period of time or number of years to meet the
standard. SB1078 states that such standard should take into consideration the effect of the
standard on retail rates, reliability, and financial resources and the goal of environmental
Improvements.
SB 1078 also requires public utilities to report annually to customers the following
Information: (1) expenditures of public funds for renewable energy resource development,
including a description of programs, expenditures and expected results; and (2) resource mix
used to serve customers broken down by fuel type with contribution of each eligible
renewable energy source.
094
A,
It has been suggested that in developing our approach to establishing a renewables energy
portfolio standard, that we strive to meet the spirit and intent of SB 1078. Toward this end, it
should be noted that SB 1078 requires private utilities to consider the year 2001 as a baseline
for the renewables portfolio and calls for the renewables portion to increase by at least 1% per
year beginning in 2003. If the portfolio is not increased by I% in 2003, it must be made up in
subsequent years. The standard of 20% must be achieved by 2017.
The Resources Management Division has put together some preliminary thoughts on
complying with SB 1078. Here are some highlights to prompt some initial thinking on this
subject:
• We have sufficient resources to serve our anticipated load over next 5 years
• Any purchase of renewables will cause us to have excess power
• Since renewable energy costs more than other sources over the next three to five
years, selling our excess power in wholesale market would require us to sell at a loss
• Such losses would have to be made up by rate adjustments
• We could define "renewables" in such a way to count "energy conservation" and
"large hydro"--this could get us about 3% renewables and demonstrate progress
• We could pursue feasible, cost effective, renewables at this time through SCPPA
• Commitment to renewable energy has to be for the long term, since contracts with
renewable energy providers are normally for a minimum duration of ten years and up
to twenty-five years
• We should establish a renewable resource account and consider funding a portion of it
with public benefits funding in the future
• Begin to educate the public with respect to this legislation
A PowerPoint presentation is attached and will be presented at the meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
The financial impact of this legislation will depend on the standards that are adopted by the
Utility Board, and the cost effectiveness of the particular renewables that are selected.

INFORMATIONAL ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JANUARY 29, 2002
SUBJECT: WASTE DIVERSION AND DISPOSAL TREND REPOR"
RECOMMENDATION i ``
it is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council review this report and provide any
relevant comments or questions to staff.
BACKGROUND
In October 2000, the City Council approved a new contract with Athens Services which called
for all waste collected in Azusa to be processed through a material recovery facility. It was
believed that by diverting 13,000 additional tons per year, that the City would divert at least
50% of its waste stream from landfills and comply with the State's recycling requirement.
Staff is pleased to report that for calendar year 2001, the City reached a diversion rate of
53%. This diversion rate must be reported to the State by January 31, 2003, and is based on
recent corrections that Athens Services submitted to the Sanitation Districts. Although these
adjustments resulted in an increase of 3,800 tons over what was previously reported, 13,000
of waste was diverted by Athens Services, according to their reports. Staff Is reviewing
Athens' disposal data through a third parry consultant, and this review Is expected to be
completed in early February.
Year to date disposal trends continue to move slightly higher than last year for most service
categories, as shown on attached spreadsheets. Yard waste diversion, however, rose by
about 40% in December 2002 compared to December 2001. This increase in yard waste
diversion saved about $2,800 in MRF processing costs for 1 month. Staff attributes this
savings to yard waste barrel distribution program.
098
FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impacts of tonnage increase will be calculated at time rates are adjusted, around May-
June 2003.

GHTINFORMATIONAL ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES ^v
DATE: JANUARY 29, 2003 v
SUBJECT: ALLOCATION OF REPLACEMENT WATER
RECOMMENDATION
This is for your information only.
BACKGROUND
At a recent board meeting of the Main San Gabriel Watermaster a final resolution was reached
regarding the allocation of replacement water between the San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water
District and the Upper San Gabriel Municipal Water District.
As you recall, staff brought this subject to your attention at two different Utility Board
meetings. Initial dispute arose from the transfer of water rights of Azusa Agricultural Water
Company from the City to Azusa Valley Water Company, which was followed with a dispute
about the amount of replacement water to be supplied by San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water
District.
The final resolution, as passed by the Watermaster, established a fixed percentage from which
the amount of annual replacement water will be calculated based on Azusa's total water
production. The allocation is 40% to San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District and 60% to
Upper San Gabriel Municipal Water District.
For illustration purposes, let me give you an example of how It works based on 22,000 AF of
total production (without considering carryover rights and effect of annual Safe Yield).
40°k to Azusa, City of 22,000 X 40% = 8,800 AF
60% to AVWC 22,000 X 60% = 13,200 AF
Azusa's water rights 3,656 AF
102
Page 2: Jan 29, 2003 Utility Board Agenda-Allocation of Replacement Water
Replacement Water required: 8,800 AF - 3,565AF = 5.235 AF
This is the amount of Replacement Water to be purchased from the San Gabriel Valley
Municipal Water District.
AVWC's water rights 12,963.73 AF
Replacement Water required 13,200 AF - 12,963.73 AF = 236.27 AF
This then will be the amount of Replacement Water to be purchased from the Upper San
Gabriel Municipal Water District.
FISCAL IMPACT
No significant fiscal impact is anticipated.

INFORMATIONAL ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JANUARY 29, 2003
SUBJECT: TRANSFORMING AZUSA INTO AN URBAN FOREST
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council review this report and provide any
relevant comments or questions to staff.
BACKGROUND
At the request of Utility Board Chair, Diane Chagnon, we conducted a review of our existing
Shade Tree Program to determine the value of the Utility having the same Tree Line USA
designation as the City of Azusa. The Tree Line USA designation will aid in obtaining funding
from grants.
The current Shade Tree Program is a successful program. We have planted over 4,500 trees
since inception, received grants in excess of $100,000 for tree planting activities and we are
moving forward to our goal of being an Urban Forest. What is an Urban Forest? There
appears to be no formal or widely accepted definition at this time, however, the City of
Seattle defines their city as an Urban Forest using the following guidelines: Satellite Imagery
shows that there is a 25% forestation ratio for their city; and a year 2000 survey of Seattle
residents which indicates that 80% of respondents consider Seattle a "Green City."
Benefits of being an Urban Forest:
• Conserve energy by shading buildings and paved surfaces
• Reduced heat island effect
• Improve air quality by filtering airborne pollutants and removing atmospheric Carbon
Dioxide
104
• Reduce storm runoff
• Enhance aesthetics
• Property values, on average, are 20% higher
Accomplishments to date include meeting with the affected City Departments to determine
the scope of the existing project. Tree Line USA was contacted to apply for the same
designation as the City for the Utility. West Coast Arborists will update the current tree
inventory by the end of April. Grant funding has been secured through the year 2004.
Moving forward:
• A model will be developed based on other successful Green Cities.
• One, three and five years goals will be set
• The tree inventory will be analyzed
• A budget will be instituted for planting, maintaining and trimming new and mature
trees which meet the needs of both the City and the Utility
• An education and training program for interested residents and affected city personnel
Will be put in place
• Other sources of funding and grants will be vigorously pursued
Progress reports will be made to the Utility Board.
FISCAL IMPACT
To be determined at a later date

INFORMATIONAL ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JANUARY 29, 2003
SUBJECT: CHANGE ORDER POLICY AND PROCEDURE
BACKGROUND
The Azusa Utility Board instructed staff to provide information with respect to the City's
existing policy and procedure for CIP contract change orders. In addition, the Board wanted
a discussion of this subject at its January 2003 meeting. Here are the findings and comments
for your consideration and as reference for your discussion.
Azusa's current policy on change orders is that change orders in aggregate not exceeding 10%
of the original contract amount can be processed administratively. Any change order
exceeding this limit requires the approval of City Council.
Change orders can be generally categorized as three kinds— (1) changes in material and labor
of the project resulting in either Increase or decrease to the original contracted cost without
Increase in time required to complete the job; (2) changes in scope of service without
Increase to the original cost; (3) changes in material or method of construction without
impacting the original cost or completion time.
It Is my understanding from Board members' comments that you were more concerned
with the management of change orders, and quality control of work being done. In discussion
with City staff who are most involved with CIP, hence are responsible for managing change
orders, here are their comments and suggestions:
1. Most CIP contracts are for installation or replacement of utility and public works
Infrastructure, such as water lines, sewer lines, road paving, and electric lines.
These types of projects should have very few unforeseen elements and should
have fewer change orders, if any, than other types of projects.
111
2. Building remodeling, though these types of contracts are lesser in number than
CIPS, they can cause the most difficult and contentious change orders, because
many unknowns can surface after the project begins to unfold.
3. Staff recommends that the City use project manager to manage large CIP projects.
4. Staff also recommends that all remodeling projects be considered to perform an
interior probing of the subject structure prior to completion of project
specifications. This phase may require the City to hire trade experts, such as
roofing, electrical, plumbing, or structural, to give the City independent advice on
the kind of work necessary as part of the overall project.
5. All change orders are to be examined and recommended by the project manager
and then signed off by management staff.
May 1 add from my own experience, as part of the project control process, that there should
be periodic project meetings between the contractor and City staff, and a running project
spreadsheet to be in place ready for review, when requested, by the administration or City
Council/Utility Board members.
Staff appreciates your interest in this important and timely subject. We will await your
comments and inputs before staff formulates a policy/procedure to better manage the City's
CIP and their related change orders.

Brief Description of Project: Write, produce and edit a 40-minute TV show on current events and
projects throughout the city of Azusa. The completed show is placed on a program schedule and aired
on Azusa government channel 55. Assistant City Manager, Robert Person is the moderator and host of
the show. The show is taped at the Charter facilities in Pasadena each month.
Funding Source: Communications Account Number: 31-10-130-000-662
First Quarter Status: This quarter we focused on Azusa's downtown. We highlighted the Downtown
Business Association and the redevelopment efforts for Block 36.
Second Quarter Status: The focus for this quarter was on the Williams Fire and its aftermath. Area
businesses affected by the fire and the impact to the river and canyon were highlighted.
Third Quarter Status:
Fourth Quarter Status:
Year End Disposition:
Schedule: This program is taped monthly at the Charter studios in Pasadena.
Notes: We have recently been apprised that Charter Communications will no longer assist us with any
production that goes beyond the City Council meeting,which they tape for us. They will allow us to
continue taping Azusa Today at their studios in Pasadena on the condition that we provide our own
director,switcher, producer, camera operators, sound person and editor. This arrangement puts the
monthly production of Azusa today in jeopardy. We simply do not have the resources to hire all the
extra people. I am negotiating with them for additional personnel to continue with this project. One
other area that has being affected by Charter's decision to limit their resources to Channel 55 is in
equipment. Charter has informed us that they will no longer assist us with the maintenance of our
equipment if it is deemed by them to incur a cost to them.

Project Name: Work Order System Review
Division: Electric Operations Team Leader/Memberg:
(See below"'" under"Notes")
Brief Description of Project: Work orders are issued to have work done by field personnel. Work
orders communicate what is to be done, what equipment and materials are needed to do the job, and
authorize field personnel to commence work. Work orders also are used to track costs for billing and
accounting purposes. This is a review of the work management process, which is largely a manual
process,to see how it can be made more efficient, and possibly automated, for billing, accounting and
management purposes.
Funding Source: WA Account Number: N/A
First Quarter Status: Review began in last quarter of FY 2001-02. In the first quarter of 2002-03, staff
met with a work order system vendori Synergen,who was retained by the City of Colton to implement a
work order system there. Staff was impressed by Synergen and requested them to review our work
order system and advise us on our next steps. Synergen agreed to interview staff from other
departments and divisions that are involved in the work order process.
Second Quarter Status: Synergen interviewed staff from Electric Engineering, Electric Operations,
Customer Care, Finance, Purchasing, and IT, to get their perspective and concerns with the current
work order system, and to come up with recommendations. Synergen confirmed what they heard as
"staff concerns"with a second validation meeting held with the same staff.

Utility Board for consideration.
Notes: In last quarter of 2001-02, staff from Engineering and Electric Divisions met to map out existing
work flow process. Over 50 tasks were identified and put into a matrix,which describe the"who,what,
when,where, how and why's"of the work order process. This process is being reviewed for its

mid-October,2002 to allow the City and LAC to enter into exclusive negotiations for a period of sixty
days commencing November 1 for an assignment arrangement of Azusa's San Juan to LAC. During
the month of November,the parties performed due diligence review of the proposed arrangement.The
staff of LAC visited the City and SCPPA in mid-November. During the due diligence process, SCPPA
j bond counsel advised us that the proposed arrangement may present adverse tax consequences to the
SCPPA bonds.This is due to the fact that the major party served by LAC is the DOE National
Laboratory at Los Alamos,which is considered a private party under IRS regulations, and therefore the
proposed arrangement would cause SCPPA bonds to become immediately taxable. SCPPA bond
counsel maintained this opinion upon further review of the agreement between LAC and DOE, and
upon discussions with LAC's bond counsel Sherman &Howard. Staff updated the Utility Board at its
December meeting,and suggested the termination of further discussions with LAC. Staff sent LAC a
letter stating this fact on December 30,2002 terminating the discussions. Staff will continue to explore

Project Name: Retail Rates Revision
Division: Power Resource Team Leader/Members:
Bob Tang, Richard Torres, Tim Vuong
Brief Description of Project: As the department's cost structure continues to face upward cost
pressures due to(1) cost-of-living adjustment, (2) increased internal funding of capital projects, (3)
additional socialized city costs, (4) uncertain and volatile electricity wholesale market, (5) uncertain cost
implications of CAISO market as well as expiring transmission contracts with SCE,the department will
need to revisit and revise its retail rates to reflect the current business environment. At the same time,
the department will be to be cognizant of the increased competitive pressure from the investor-owned
utilities (namely SCE in Azusa's case) once they complete the restructuring of their past debts in the
foreseeable future(by mid-2003 in SCE's case).
In light of the above, we need to devise a more flexible rate structure that can provide the department
with the rate flexibility to face the unforeseen circumstances. Along these thoughts, the following rate
structure may serve as.a"strawman":
i I
a. Incorporate a portion of the current one-cent per kWh charge permanently into the rate base to
reflect the increased cost structure of the department.
b. Create a quarterly updated power cost adjustment(PCA) mechanism to reflect the volatile
nature of department wholesale power procurement costs (perhaps with a percent cap of how
much the department can revise its PCA)
