to authorize staff to increase the Replacement Water Cost Adjustment Factor by $0.2340 per
hundred cubic feet of water effective February 1, 2008 to recover the increased cost of purchasing
water from Metropolitan Water District for November and December.

> Hi Chet,

> at the south end of the O&M Building is necessary. It is our opinion
> that the zone of influence of the O&M Building loads extends over a
> significant enough portion of the 30-inch Cal-AM to deem the re-route
> necessary. In addition, the existing Cal-AM line may be fragile as it
> appears to be old concrete that is not reinforced.

SUBJECT: REQUEST BY CALIFORNIA RESOURCE CONNECTIONS FOR $15,500 TO

WORKSHOP
RECOMMENDATION
i
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve: (1) proposed funding request
by California Resource Connections in amount of $15,500; and (2) approve a budget
appropriation for fiscal year 2008-2009 in amount of $8,175 using AB 939 Fee Revenue to
pay for a Composting / Gardening Workshop; and (3) authorize use of budgeted Beverage
Container Recycling Grant funds in amount of $7,325 to pay for Litter Clean-up Program this
fiscal year.
BACKGROUND I
I
In August 2007, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
California Resource Connections (CRC). The MOU was twofold. First, with about $52,500 in
funding, it required CRC to make improvements to the Taylor House located in San Gabriel
Canyon across the river from the former EI Encanto Restaurant. Second, the MOU committed
j the City to provide $10,000 in funding to CRC for "environmental programs:' Vulcan Materials
donated $50,000 in initial funding for improvements of the Taylor House property and Azusa
Light & Water contributed $2,500 given CRCs promise to educate the public about the
importance of the San Gabriel River as a water source and the need to keep it clean.
At this time, CRC, through attached proposal, requests $15,500 in funding to conduct two
environmental programs: (1) a river education and cleari up event in April 2008 to coincide
with the City of Azusas Clean, Green, More Beautiful Azusa Celebration, and (2) a compost
i
and gardening workshop to be held in September 2008 at the Taylor house. As part of the
compost workshop, CRC would provide free compostl bins to residents which would be
purchased with funds provided by the City. The cost of, the compost bins would be about
$5,500 and so this is why the funding request exceeds the amount in the MOU. However,
4 compost bin give -a -ways are common amongst City recycling programs and so staff
If 024
t� �
recommends approval of the higher amount using AB 939 fee revenues.
FISCAL IMPACT
Total cost of this approval is $15,500. Of this total, $7,325 will be provided from existing
budget using account number 28-40-750-064-6625, or block grant funds from State of
California for Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Clean-up. Since the Composting
Workshop being proposed is scheduled for next fiscal year, $8,175 will be budgeted for this
program in next years operating budget using AB 939 program fund since backyard
composting is an eligible use of these funds.

SUBJECT: SUPPORT OF SENATE BILL 691 (CALDERON) -- REQUIREMENTS FOR
RECYCLING OF NON-FERROUS METAL
s
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council adopt a support position on SB 691 and
authorize staff to send letters to legislators advocating the City's position.
BACKGROUND
Theft of non-ferrous metals such as copper has been on the rise this past few years due to
the increasing value of the commodity. The problem has become so prevalent that structures
at construction sites are often targeted and stripped of copper pipes or conduit; fire hydrants
have been stolen, and materials have been stolen from utility storage yards. SB 691
(Calderon) was introduced to combat this problem by requiring recycling centers who pay for
such metals to pay by check and obtain identifying information from those individuals who
sell such materials or items for cash. Files identifying sellers are to be kept on hand for a
period of 2 -years. Sales less than $20 would be exempt from the requirements of this bill as
would beverage containers.
I
FISCAL IMPACT
There is little fiscal impact of the City supporting this bill. ;The Utility has already experienced
theft of its supplies and in some cases infrastructure, and passage of this bill may deter
further theft of valuable equipment and supplies. E

Fish rescue may mean drier times
To save the longfin smelt, a state panel sets new rules for
exporting Delta water.
By Matt Weiser - mweiser@sacbee.com
Published 12.00 am PST Friday, February 8, 2008
The Bay Area and Southern California could be in for deeper water shortages this year after state
officials on Thursday decided to protect another Delta fish.
The California Fish and Game Commission, meeting in San Diego, voted unanimously to protect the
longfin smelt under the state Endangered Species Act.
The finger -length fish is now officially a candidate for stronger protection. State officials will spend the
coming year deciding whether its status should be "threatened" or "endangered."
Meanwhile, to protect the longfin, the commission also set new rules for state and federal agencies that
export water from the Sacramento -San Joaquin Delta to 25 million Californians and 2 million acres of
farmland.
This could mean drier times ahead for parts of the state already dealing with shortages because of the
Delta's troubles.
"It's fair to say this is just another notch in the chokehold that is tightening our ability to move water,"
said Laura King -Moon of the State Water Contractors, which represents most of the agencies that buy
Delta water from the state.
The longfin smelt is one of nine Delta fish species to suffer steep declines over the past five years. Last
year, the longfin population was the lowest in 40 years of record-keeping.
State and federal water pumps in the Delta are blamed for killing millions of fish, but other culprits
include poor water quality and invasive species.
Government officials are working on plans to protect the Delta. But those will take years and billions of
dollars. Hardships are coming in the meantime.
Commission President Richard Rogers said he felt forced into a decision he called "repugnant."
"The piper is standing at the door with an ax," he said. "This is something we have to solve and we have
to solve now."
State action to protect the longfin came after a petition by environmentalists. A similar petition is
pending under federal law.

Fish rescue may mean drier times - sacbee.com Page 2 of 3
"There is absolutely no doubt the species merited listing and is in desperate need of protection, along
with its habitat," said Tina Swanson, 'a scientist at the Bay Institute, one of the petitioners.
Rules adopted Thursday closely match limits imposed by a federal judge in December to protect the
Delta smelt, a cousin of the longfin.
Court restrictions slashed water deliveries by 42 percent in January, shorting water agencies about
1269,000 acre-feet, said Terry Erlewine, general manager of the State Water Contractors. That's enough
for about a half -million homes.
But the longfin has a different life cycle, generally breeding earlier in the year. So the Department of
Fish and Game called for pumping limits that could begin earlier in the fall and possibly extend deeper
into spring.
The commission adopted those limits, voting 3-0, with two members absent.
The new rules take effect later this month and will be in place through August. The commission then
expects to extend them another six months.
By then, state and federal officials intend to adopt new operating rules for water pumps that come with
permanent protections for Delta fish. `.
There is some doubt about whether Thursday's actions must bel heeded by the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation, which operates the Delta's federal pumping system. So the commission will ask the state
Water Resources Control Board to also adopt the rules, which would then be binding on the bureau.
j Jeff McCracken, a spokesman for the bureau, did not comment on how his agency will respond, saying
officials had not yet reviewed the new rules.
j Water agency representatives at Thursday's meeting warned the state's new rules would only lead to
protracted litigation. I
They complained of being singled out, while other Delta threats are ignored.
They urged the commission to force agricultural water diverters within the Delta to screen intakes, for
instance, and end protection of the striped bass, a nonnative species blamed for preying on protected
fish. j
i
Water users favored having the federal court's Delta smelt limits cover the longfin as well, since the
species are similar. I
i
"If you have an umbrella that keeps you dry, you don't need two umbrellas," said Jerry Johns, deputy
director of the state Department of Water Resources. I
I
The commission instead agreed with state biologists that the longfin's unique breeding cycle demands
special rules. Commission members also ordered a staff report on possible steps to control other threats.
"We're really concerned about the health of the ecosystem, not just the health of this fish," said
commissioner Michael Sutton.

Pasadena Star -News - Pulling out of the drought
Page 2 of 2
Second, the region must invest in ways to better
capture storm run-off. One idea that should be
explored is to establish a fresh water harbor at
the end of the San Gabriel River in Long Beach.
Captured run-off would then be used to recharge
drinking wells.
The low-tech way to capture more rainwater is
to return land to its pristine state. Re -greening
the Arroyo Seco, the Los Angeles, San Gabriel and
Rio Hondo rivers would increase the amount of
porous surface for rainwater recharge.
We're pleased to hear the Watermaster is
working with the Rivers and Mountains
Conservancy to find more land for preservation.
More green space - especially along our rivers -
will send millions of gallons of rain and storm
water back into underground aquifers.
What about consumers? We'd rather use
carrots than sticks for increasing conservation.
More agencies should follow the lead of the
Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District
which gives away low -flush toilets, water -stingy
shower heads and promotes water -efficient
dishwashers and washing machines. All new
buildings should be water wise and include
drought -resistant landscaping.
With these carrots, plus the good news of a wet
year and a healthy snowpack both locally and in
Northern California, cities such as Covina, Azusa
and Glendora should suspend plans for
mandatory water rationing. Requiring
homeowners to use 10or 20 percent less water
penalizes those who had been conserving and is
unfair to senior citizens who use very little water
anyway.
We're seeing a rainbow at the end of the
drought. Now, if only we could harvest that pot of
gold.

Pasadena Star -News - Pulling out of the drought
OUR VIEW
Pulling out of the drought
Article Launched: 02/092008 06:16:54 PM PST
To water managers, the snow-capped San
Gabriel Mountains are more than just pretty
postcard material. They represent a return to
normal well capacities.
The future snow melt that will slowly percolate
into groundwater recharge areas well into
summer along the San Gabriel and Rio Hondo
river banks is the key to ending years of drought.
Is the region ready to capture this bounty? Or will
it be wasted?
Rainfall in downtown Los Angeles this season is
four inches above normal. Behind the Santa Anita
Dram, seasonal rain has equaled more than 20
inches. The winter storms and more importantly,
melting mountain snowpack will "definitely" be
good news for Azusa and Glendora, which draw
from canyon wells and are most affected by a
local drought, experts say. The key San Gabriel
Basin well down 26 feet in December '07 over
December '06 - will be on the rise. A state
Department of Water Resources web site shows
key reservoirs in central and Northern California
at or approaching normal percentages as of Jan.
29.2008.
So why aren't water folks cheering? They
are like the American voter, worried about the
tanking economy, gridlocked political
environment and ominous environmental news -
yet despite a gloomy outlook are voting in higher
numbers. As Barrack Obama would say, do the
water folks have the audacity to hope? Hope that
California is showing signs of crawling out of a
drought?
i
"This (rainfall, snow pack) is definitely going to
help," said Carol Williams, general manager of
the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster. But she
said we'll need another wet year in '08-'09
before she and others would pronounce the
drought dead. I
i
We understand such cautious optimism. The
Watermaster is facing a go -it -alone future from
mighty Metropolitan Water District, which has
suspended its delivery of imported water for
replenishing our overdrawn basins. Instead of
annually, that may happen 'three out of 10
years," she said.
Actually, going independent may be the best
thing for communities sitting on top of ground
water supplies. It is the stimulus this region
needs to fix its own water problems.
I
As Rep. Grace Napolitano said last week, it will
take a lot of agencies and people working
together. We have some project suggestions:
First, dean -up of polluted pockets of the basins
must be accelerated. Yes, there's been
progress. But cities, water agencies, the EPA, the
state and the responsible parties must put more
money into finishing the job. Having a pollution -
free aquifer will establish San Gabriel
Valley's water independence.

Avian Flu
General Precautions
Avian flu is viral disease and it can be very contagious and
even deadly in poultry (e.g,. chickens). Of great concern are
the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) HSN1 viruses
that have killed millions of birds and infected humans in other
countries, If these viruses are detested in the U.S. or if you
travel on work assignments or are employed in countries that
have HPAI H5N1 outbreaks, take appropriate Precautions,
Avian Flu Symptoms in Humans
Range from fever. cough, sore throat and muscle aches; to
diarrhea, eye infections, pneumonia and severe respiratory
diseases. The symptoms of avian influenza may depend on
which virus caused the infection but are often similar to
those associated with human seasonal influenza.
How Humans Are Infected
Contact with sick poultryor surfaces soiled with dis-
charges from their mouths or beaks, or with feces.
Inhaling contaminated particles from poultry.
Treatment
Some prescription antiviral drugs may be effective.
General Precautions
Wash hands thoroughly and frequently, for 15.20 sec -
on s, preferably with soap and water.
Avoid contact with possibly infected poultry.
Avoid consuming uncooked or undercooked poultry or
poultry products.
Precautims When Exposed
Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE):
• Disposable gloves or gloves that can be disinfected;
• Protective clothing (long-sleeved coveralls with a water-
proof apron);
• Disposable shoe covers or those that can be disinfected;
*Safety goggles; and
• Wear at least the minimum level of respiratory protec-
tion, N95 or higher respirator.
Employees should remove all PPE at work to avoid taking
contaminated items home.
If you develop flu-like symptoms, stay at home except to
get medical attention.

Project Term Sheet
2-6-08 `
Project Name: Lodi Energy Center (LEC)
Description: 255 MW base load Combined Cycle Natural Gas Fired Combustion Turbine
Generating Station (one gas turbine and one steam turbine) with approximately 25
MW of peaking duct firing. L
Location: Lodi, California, southwest of the intersection of Interstate 5 and Highway 12,
adjacent to NCPA's existing CT2 project and the City of Lodi's White Slough Water
Treatment Plant (see attached map):
Project Manager Ed Warner, Northern California Power Agency, (209)728-1387 X-22
Performance: LEC is expected to have a heat rate -of approximately 7050 Btu per kWh of energy
production and opeiate at about an 80% annual capacity factor resulting in expected
annual energy production of 1,787,00 MWh and the consumption about 12,500,000
MMBtu of natural gas. 4
Cost Estimate: Total development and construction cost is anticipated to be approximately $275
million or about $1,080 / kW of project capacity. Utilizing a natural gas price of
$7.00 / MMBtu and an 80% annual plant capacity factor results in a projected "all -
in" energy cost of just under $70 / MWh.
I
Transmission: Either PG&E/CAISO 230kv or Western 230kv line.
Status: Project participants are attaining approvals for participation in Phase 2 activities
which include the acquisition of needed emissions credits, initiating the CEC
application process, and commencing detailed engineering and design, all as a
prelude to issuing final bid documents, likely toward the end of 2009. (see attached
project Phase 2 Timeline)

Power Resource Highlights
■ Garnet Wind Project broke ground to construct the wind generating units
and the construction is proceeding satisfactorily. We continue to work
with the CAISO to certify the project interconnection with CAISO
transmission grid. Current projected in-service date is summer 2008.
■ We continue to participate in the Southern California Public Power
Authority (SCPPA) renewable resources RFP process. The SCPPA RFP
yielded about 50 proposals: 15 wind power; 30 solar power; 3
geothermal power; 1 small hydro; and 1 biomass. At this time, staff is
evaluating 1 solar proposal and the biomass proposal for potential
participation.
■ San Juan unit #3 went into the scheduled outage on January 25th and is
expected to return to service in late March. So far, the outage is
proceeding as scheduled and environmental project is about 90%
complete. The latest environmental project report is attached.
■ Due to system software problems, the CAISO has once again delayed
(the third time) the start up of the new power market. Although CAISO
has not officially stated the new date, it is highly likely to be delayed
toward fall of this year. However, CAISO market simulation is continuing
apace and is expected continue through the fall. Staff continues to
participate in the simulations.
■ The Lodi #2 project planning activities have been delayed due to not all
potential participants has received the necessary authorization to
proceed. It is now expected that the project will receive the final approval
by all participants by the end of this month, and the planning activities will
commence shortly thereafter. The project fact sheet is attached for
information.

INFORMATION ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD
AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES 0 7 -epi F.j�
' `3,
DATE: FEBRUARY 25 2008 /
SUBJECT: ALLEY LITTER / CLEAN UP OPTIONS
At solid waste workshop on January 28, 2008, concern was expressed by Board Member
Macias about litter in alleys of the City. In response to this concern, Director of Utilities
convened a meeting of Public Works staff, Utilities staff and service representatives of Athens
Services. The meeting was intended to discuss the problem generally and put forth ideas on
how to address the problem. The following are reported in no particular order:
• Waste seems to originate from various sources:
o When someone illegally discards a bulky waste item in a trash bin, this, then,
limits space for regular trash and results in overflow conditions.
o Cars often park illegally in alleys and prevent street sweepers from sweeping
the alleys; then, when cars are moved, the public complains about the alley
not being swept.
o Street sweepers have difficulty getting the middle of alley gutters swept
because of the "V" gutter of the alleys.
o The manual trash collection system was also believed to be a source of much
of the waste, because trash is not always covered or stored in a way that
prevents overflow or litter from being blown from the cans, and Athens
Services as a trash company has no obligation to pick up trash on the ground
which they do not spill.
o People illegally discard small amounts of litter in alleys—it's a "mindset"
problem.
• Ideas set forth to address problems were as follows:
o Consider implementing an automated trash collection system; Athens Services
representatives said that it has been their experience that cities with such
systems have less litter on the ground, even,in alleys.
o Post signs at both ends of alleys to notice drivers that it is illegal to park in
alleys; then, enforce the no -parking laws. Consider having a parking
enforcement vehicle follow the street sweepers and ticket cars illegally parked.
o Conduct public information campaigns to encourage people not to park in
alleys and not to litter prior to taking enforcement action, similar to how Azusa
Light & Water approached water conservation—it worked.
070
o Establish a hotline and allow people to call for pick up service from LA Works
when they are available.
o Promote free collection of bulky waste as that is in contract with Athens
Services for trash collection.
o Increase the frequency of trash services if a dumpster is known to be regularly
in overflow condition.
o Begin with public information in April with Clean & Green Month promotional
activities.
As an aside to the situation in alleys, concern was expressed about the new street sweeping
plan to sweep one side of each street on alternating days; the concern was that given our
trash collection system, that trash could be blown to opposite side of street on windy days
after one side is swept. Sweeping streets on alternating days may also make it more difficult
to implement an automated trash collection system if that is desired.
It was generally thought that a multi -faceted approach would be needed to address the origin
of the waste, cleaning itup once on the ground, and ongoing prevention.
Staff welcomes additional comments and/or suggestions from City Council/Utility Board on
this matter.
