STAFF REPORTS/COMMUNICATIONS Staff Rpts
Director of Utilities Hsu presented the Monthly Update on Water Treatment Plant stating that the Canyon Monthly WTP
Water Filtration Plant Project is nearing completion but a permit needs to be acquired from the California Update
Department of Public Health which is having problems with shortage of manpower as well as an influx of
funding applicatiods which require a quick turnaround. The project will be substantially complete at the end
of March but the Health Department probably won't deliver the permit until June. Additional discussion was
held regarding obtaining an air quality permit to operate Emergency Back up Generator which the AQMD
advised was below the minimum threshold and would cost about $2,000.
Director of Utilities Hsu provided an update on the Drought stating as of last week the City is still below Drought
normal for this time of year; that when the rainly season is over in Northern California they will then determine Update
how much water is available as well as snow pack to determine allocation of water to Southern California. The
water table aquifers are as good as in 2007, but not sure how much will be available in the fall. He responded
to questions regarding the percentage cutbacks by customers; discussion was held about the lack of positive
press coverage and. the non -release of water to the spreading grounds.
Director of Resource Management Tang provided a report on American Public Power Association (APPA)
legislative rally in Washington D.C. Legislative Rally stating that there are three main areas that affect the
legislative issues as follows: the Federal Government is counting on Green House Gas allowance sales for
revenues for governmental purposes, i.e. to balance their budget; this is a major concern and a major issue.
There is a Federal mandate on the renewable standards and California is in the forefront; they are asking that
the Federal not duplicate efforts that are in California due to the cost; and finally the Federal Transmission
Siting Authority is receiving a lot of attention due to the controversy of nobody wanting transmission lines in
their neighborhoods; Congress is looking into the transmission siting issue to see whether federal preemption
authority should be:given to have eminent domain authority and the debate is in its beginning stages.
Director of Utilities Hsu and Director of Resource Management Tang provided an update on CAISO New
Markets stating that as of April 1, the California Independent System Operator will be embarking on a new

RECOMMENDATION
S
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve and sign a letter supporting the
Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District's reclaimed water project which will provide
a reliable secondary source of recharge water for the Main San Gabriel Groundwater Basin.
BACKGROUND
The State of California and Southern California are currently in a drought condition that is
affecting water supply statewide. A statewide effort to conserve water is underway as well as an
effort to secure alternative sources of water supply. One alternative source of supply that is
available to the San Gabriel Valley is reclaimed water from the San Jose Sewage Treatment
Plant near the intersection of the 605 and the 60. The reclaimed water will be treated with
Advanced Water Treatment (AWT), and will exceed drinking water standards before it is spread
in the Main: Basin. The use of reclaimed water will provide an initial supply of 10,000 acre-feet
per year and will ultimately increase to 25,000 acre-feet per year.

Reference: Upper San Gabriel Valley MWD Reclaimed Water Project - Letter of Support
Gentlemen:
We, the Utility Board and City Council of the City of Azusa, are writing this letter to
affirm the City of Azusa's support for Upper San Gabriel Valley MWD's (USGVMWD)
reclaimed water project. We understand that USGVMWD is developing this reclaimed
water project to assure a reliable secondary source of groundwater recharge to
supplement the water supply of the Main San Gabriel Groundwater Basin (Main Basin).
We further understand that this reliable secondary source of water will be treated to a
level of quality that exceeds the State and Federal water quality requirements for potable
water which is distributed for drinking water purposes.
The State of California and Southern California are entering another year of drought in
what has been a continuing dry cycle for the entire Southwest. Low levels of rainfall,
below average snowpack in the Sierras and the Rockies, and court imposed restrictions
on water available from the Bay -Delta State Water Project (SWP) supply have combined
to drastically reduce the amount of water available for import to Southern California via
the SWP and the Colorado River Aqueduct (CRA). As a result, the Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California (MWD) cannot commit to providing replenishment water
to the Main Basin. Consequently, water levels in the Main Basin have declined to record
low levels and continue to decline.
The City of Azusa has been a leader in conserving the diminishing water resources of the
Main Basin, and others are acknowledging the critical nature of the water supply
shortage. We recognize that additional water sources are critically necessary and that the
use of reclaimed water is but one component in an overall plan to combine water
conservation with additional new water sources for the recharge of the Main Basin.
01i
We commend the Directors of the Upper District for taking this bold step to bring
reclaimed water to the Main Basin for recharge as it has done with prior projects for the
direct use of reclaimed water for landscape irrigation. We and others stand ready to assist
you in your efforts to bring this project to fruition.
Very truly yours,

SUBJECT: i RETROFIT OF WATER DIVISION DIESEL TRUCKS WITH PARTICULATE
'MATTER TRAPS TO COMPLY WITH CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES
BOARD REQUIREMENTS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve bid by Ironman Emissions Group
in amount of $41,295.56 to retrofit three (3) Water Division diesel trucks with the Particulate
Matter (PM) Traps.
BACKGROUND
In 2005, the: California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved a regulation pursuant to title 13,
California Code of Regulations (CCR), sections 2020, 2022, and 2022. 1, the fleet rule for Public
Agencies and Utilities. This rule requires a municipality or utility that owns, leases, or operates
an on -road diesel -fueled heavy-duty vehicle greater than 14,000 pounds gross vehicle weight
rating (GV WR) with a 1960 to 2006 model year medium or heavy duty engine to install best
available control technology (BACT) to reduce particulate emissions. The regulation requires
that 20 percent of the fleet be retrofitted with BACT by 2008, and then 50 percent by 2009. The
installed BACT should reduce toxic diesel Particulate Matter (PM) emissions to 0.01 gram per
brake horsepower hour (g/bhp-hr) or to lowest emission level possible for a specific engine
without jeopardizing the original engine warranty. The Electric Division has installed the
equipment on seven (7) of its trucks, thus meeting the 20% requirement for the Light & Water
fleet.
The Water Division has identified ten (10) diesel trucks weighing over 14,000 pounds that fall
under this regulation. Of those ten (10) trucks, three (3) are exempt from the regulatory
requirements due to low annual mileage, and four (4) other trucks cannot be modified until the
equipment required for those trucks has been re -certified by the CARB for installation. If the
equipment were to be installed and later not re -certified, the installed de -certified equipment
would have'to be removed and certified equipment installed.
016
The Water Division has sought quotes to install the required equipment on the three (3)
remaining trucks. Two quotes were received for installing the certified equipment, one from
Diesel Exhaust & Emissions, LLC Group in the amount of $41,655.56 including sales taxes, and
the other from Ironman in the amount of $41,295.57, including sales taxes. Ironman is the
installer who did the work on the Electric Division's trucks.
FISCAL IMPACT
Award of $41,295.56 will be paid for using fiscal year 2008-2009 operating budget account 32-
40-721-903-6825 following transfers from other approved budget accounts.

Dear City and County Officials:
Amard Sctsrwnenegger
Ga3Eemar
In 2005,ithe California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) approved a regulation to
reduce toxic diesel particulate matter (diesel PM) emissions from diesel -fueled public
agency and utility fleet vehicles beginning in 2007. Diesel PM, the tiny soot particles
from diesel engines, was identified as a toxic air contaminant in 1998. Exposure to
diesel PM is a significant health hazard, particularly to children whose lungs are still
developing, and the elderly who may have other serious health problems. Each year in
California, died PM contributes to 3,700 premature deaths, 2.200 hospital admissions,
100.0001 asthma attacks and respiratory symptoms, 8,500 cases of chronic bronchitis.
620,0001ost workdays and 3.6 million minor restricted activity days. Reducing
exposure to diesel PM is one of ARB's highest priorities.
1
The !=lest Rule for Public Agencies and Utilities regulation is particularly effective
because it reduces diesel PM concentrations in the heart of residential communities
where municipal and utility vehicles frequently conduct business. But while the
regulation brings significant clean -air benefits, it also brings cost increases to municipal
fleet administrators, who already may be on very tight fiscal budgets. Depending on the
age and•type of vehicle, implementing the regulation can average from $3,000 to more
than $40,000 per vehicle. During the development of the regulation, one of the major
issues of concern was how a municipal fleet administrator would pay for the cost of the
regulation. The Board shared this concern, and approved modifications to the
regulation with this in mind, including extending the initial compliance deadline for most
fleets, and allowing low -population counties additional time to budget and plan for the
cost of compliance.
The first, implementation deadline of the regulation is December 31, 2007, when twenty
percent of a municipality's vehicles between the model years 1960 through 2002 must
be in compliance with the regulation. As both elected county officials and Board
members, we understand compliance by many municipal fleet administrators will be
challenging. Because of this, we encourage county and city governments to support the
efforts of their municipal fleet administrator in comptying.with this regulation.

SUBJECT: ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION TO BLACK & VEATCH FOR EXTRA COST
RELATED TO ADDITIONAL WORK FOR THE CANYON MEMBRANE
WATER TREATMENT PLANT UPGRADE AND EXPANSION PROJECT
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT ENGINEERING SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
i
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve the addition of $102,000 to the
Black & Veatch (B&V) contract to provide Construction Management Engineering Services for
Canyon Membrane Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Upgrade and Expansion Project, project
WVF-207.
BACKGROUND
L
At its regular meeting held on November 20, 2006, the City Council approved. the award of the
contract for consultant construction management services for the membrane treatment upgrade
and expansion of the Canyon Filtration Plant to Black & Veatch Corp. for an estimated cost of
$1,147,000, The construction of the plant improvements began January 29, 2007, and the
completion :of the project has extended beyond the adjusted project completion date of December
17, 2008. During the course of the project, various additions and changes to B&V's Scope of
Services were necessary for the prosecution of the construction project and $326,800 was added
to the contract cost by the Utility Board at its July 28, 2008 meeting bringing the contract cost to
$1,473,800;
Currently, Substantial Completion is projected to occur in late April of 2009. Because the project
completion -has extended past the adjusted project completion date of December 17, 2008,
B&V's construction management work has gone beyond the additional scope and budget that
was approved at the July 28, 2008 Utility Board meeting. As a result, various changes to the
B&V Scope of Services and compensation for the costs thereof are necessary. Included as an
attachment'to this Agenda Item is a letter from Black & Veatch elucidating those changes and
M1
the costs associated with each change.
The reasons for B&V's request for those changes to the B&V contract are, by item:
Contractor delays, excusable and non excusable
Construction work has continued to proceed at a slower pace than was anticipated at the time the
Scope of Services for the Black & Veatch contract between the City and B&V was amended July
28, 2008. Due to delays, Black & Veatch's amended budget was expended at the end of March.
Some of the delays in completion may be excusable which will add extra time to the contractor's
substantial completion date; some delays will be determined to be non -excusable and subject to
liquidated damages. At this time a substantial completion date at the end of April, 2009 is
anticipated.
Items beyond the amended scope of services and timeframe
Proiect Manaeement
Project management for the project in the months of January and February included a Project
Manager, a Project Engineer, in-house Project Accounting staff, and in-house project
administrative staff. The time expended by this staff totals 102 hours for which Black & Veatch
is requesting additional compensation.
Project management activity to the end of the project includes coordination of project
construction and startup; review of progress payment applications and final payment application
by SSC; progress meetings; project close out documentation and negotiation and related
meetings; and part-time inspection to the end of the project. Black & Veatch has included an
estimate for the budget required is included in the $102,000 requested.
Resident Engineer Additional Time
The additional onsite inspection hours and clerical hours totaling $80,000 in additional funding
was expended at the end of February. Because the pace of the work to be completed has slowed,
Black & Veatch proposes to have a part time inspector observe the project to its conclusion. In
addition, Black & Veatch is requesting to be compensated for only 50% of the fulltime resident
inspector's time in January and February. These amounts for Resident Engineer for January and
February and March to Final Completion are included in the $102,000 requested.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of this additional cost is $102,000 which represents an additional 8.9% to the
final cost of Black & Veatch's original construction services contract. Total additions to the
Black & Veatch contract to date are $428,800 (37.3%). This additional cost will be paid from
Account 32-80-000-721-7130/72107C-7130.

f. Subject: Engineering Amendment Request
t
Dear Mr. Anderson:
As a follow-up to our discussion on Tuesday April 7, 2009, we are sending this revised letter
requesting an amendment to our engineering services budget for the Canyon Filtration Plant
Membrane Treatment Upgrade and Expansion project.
Construction Status and Contractor Delays
Construction on the Canyon Filtration Plant is progressing with work on all major structures
mostly complete and the plant currently in startup phase. As of the end of March 2009, SSC is
estimated to have achieved the following level of completion of the project work:
,w: SSC Contract Time Spent 115.12%
SSC Contract Work Completed 99.19%
'w; Original Contract Completion September 20, 2008
1, Current Contract Completion December 17, 2008
The construction work is proceeding at a slower pace than planned and as a result SSC is almost
three months past the project completion date of December 17, 2008. As of today, the following
construction activities are ongoing:
• Painting of 4.0 MG finished water reservoir (completed in March 2009)
• Mikellaneous painting and cleanup activities
• Membrane system startup
• Controls and HMI programming
The plant is undergoing startup activities including the membrane system, controls, and HMI
configuration. It should be noted that the Department of Public Health (DPH) has not yet
completed its review of the operating permit amendment application. Scheduling of the
connection of the new WTP to the potable water distribution system continues to be on hold
pending DPH approval of the operating permit. The Operations Plan was submitted to DPH on
November 6, 2008. We received comments on the Operations Plan from DPH on March 20,

Engineering Amendment Request April 15, 2009
2009. We have incorporated the comments and submitted the revised Operations Plan to DPH
on April 1, 2009. DPH is currently reviewing the revised Operations Plan.
It is expected that the WTP will be ready for the 7 day field performance test in late April, 2009.
Successful completion of the field performance test along with the completion of construction
activities as defined by the contract documents will mark the substantial completion of the
project. The remaining activities such as final punch list items, fencing, and landscaping along
with the final connection to the distribution system piping will need to be completed by SSC
before the project can achieve the Final Completion status.
B&V Engineering Budget Status
The engineering services provided by the Black & Veatch team are progressing in response to
the contractor's construction work. B&V received an amendment from ALW in September 2008
to perform the engineering services through December 2008, which was the revised substantial
completion date projected by SSC at the time the amendment request was approved. We have
monitored our budget expenditures closely since September 2008 and as a result, we were able to
continue to provide engineering services two months beyond December 2008 with the current
approved budget amount. As of the end of February, 2009, we have expended our engineering
services budget.
A request is hereby made for additional budget to perform the remaining services on this project
based on the current schedule projections by SSC and to perform the remaining activities which
are outlined below.
Schedule for Project Completion.
Current schedule projections by SSC indicate that the project may continue through end of May
2009. Activities that are envisioned till the end of May include:
• Complete miscellaneous painting, and cleanup
• Complete startup of membranes and plant startup (estimated to be complete by Mid
April, 2009)
• Chemical system loop tuning and checkout (completed end of March, 2009)
• Plant HMI and existing HMI Programming (estimated to be complete mid-April, 2009)
• Field System Performance Test (estimated to be complete end of April/early May 2009)
• Landscaping (estimated to be complete end of May, 2009)
• Tracer Study (after DPH permit approval)
• Final connection to the distribution system piping (after DPH permit approval)
• Final punch list

B&V Out of Scope Services
Our current contract calls for resident inspection services and project management through
December'2008. Work has been required that is outside the scope of our current contract as
follows.
I
Full Time'Resident Inspection (January -February 2009)
The amendment approved by ALW in September 2009 included a budget of 544 hours for John
Boss' time and 26 hours for clerical support till the end of December 2009. John spent. 560
hours andthe clerical support spent 16 hours time from Sep to Dec 2009, which equals the
budgeted number of hours.
For the month of January and February of 2009, John has spent a total of 308 hours performing
full time resident duties and the clerical support has spent 7 hours. Since the construction
activities performed by the Contractor during this time were proceeding at a slower pace, ALW
asked B&V to review if full-time inspection was warranted during these months. B&V has
reviewed this request and for January and February 2009, we are requesting John's time for
performing the resident inspection services on a half-time basis.
t
a
Project Management Activities (January -February 2009)
These activities included the Project Manager and supporting staff's time for coordinating with
ALW and SSC with regards to construction and startup activities, and internal project
management and accounting activities. In April 7, 2009 meeting, ALW requested B&V to
a
review the'l hours spent and provide a breakdown of the project management activities performed
during these months. We have reviewed the time spent performing these activities and the hours
spent were 60 hours for January and 42 hours for February, 2009. The following table provides

Project Management and Resident Inspection (March — May 2009)
In addition, moving forward, we are anticipating that the following activities will be required
through the end of May, 2009 (the projected project completion date):
• Project management activities including coordination with SSC and ALW with regards to
the project construction and startup. Review of progress pay application and final pay
application will be performed.
• Construction progress meetings (2 meetings budgeted). B&V's PM will attend a monthly
progress meeting with SSC and attend bi-weekly meetings via conference call. B&V's .
resident will be present at all meetings.
• B&V's PM will attend one meeting with contractor and ALW to discuss the project
close-out documentation and change order negotiation. This meeting is intended to
discuss the documentation needed at the project close and also to negotiate outstanding
change orders.
• Resident inspection. B&V's resident John Boss provided full time resident inspection
through March 13, 2009. From mid-March through May 2009, part-time resident
inspection (two days a week) is considered to be an appropriate level of presence to
assure the project is completed according with the contract documents. Jake Holden has
been performing part-time inspection from Mid -March 2009.

TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY
BOARD AND AZUSA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES v
DATE: 1. APRIL 27, 2009
SUBJECT AB 87 (DAVIS)/SUPPORT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council adopt a Support position for Assembly
Bill 87 (Assembly Member Mike Davis -Los Angeles) and authorize the Mayor to sign letter to
advocate adopted position.
BACKGROUND
Following the passage of AB 2449 (Levine, Statues of 2006) which became effective on July 1,
2007, the City Council approved Resolution 08-C29 in April 2008 to join the Los Angeles
County single -use bag reduction and recycling program, with the goal of decreasing the disposal
rate by 30 percent by July 1, 2010 and by 65% by July 1, 2013. This bill requires supermarkets to
make at -store containers available for collection and recycling of plastic carryout bags, as well as
provide reusable bags for purchase. Currently, supermarkets and retail stores must maintain
specific records, including the number of plastic carryout bags shipped to the store and the
weight of all plastic carryout bags recycled. These records must be submitted to California
Integrated Waste Management Board on annual basis in order to measure how many plastic bags
get recycled. This legislation expires on January 1, 2013.
Although AB 2449 was a good first step, the continued availability of free plastic bags to
customers does not foster the use of reusable bags, ensure collection and recycling of plastic
grocery bags, and does not reduce the prevalence of single use bags in the litter stream. AB 87
was introduced this year to address these concerns and would require large supermarkets and
retail stores to charge a fee of 25 cents per plastic or paper single use bag effective July 1, 2010.
034
Majority of the funds collected would be made available to local government on a per -capita
basis for litter reduction programs. This bill, which passed the Assembly of Natural Resources on
April 13, is being supported by the Los Angeles County, who has requested cities participating in
the single use bag reduction program to also adopt a Support position on this bill.
In February 2009, the City of Azusa kicked off its reusable bag program where residents receive
free reusable bags from participating stores and City events to help reduce the number of plastic
bags in the litter stream. Since funding is limited, free bags will only be distributed while
supplies last. The passage of AB 87 will help the City receive funds to help expand its program
and ensure that Azusa residents will not only receive free bags but must use them as well;
otherwise, they pay 25 cents each for plastic or paper bag from supermarkets.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact to supporting this bill. If the bill passes, funding will be
made available to cities to help expand reusable bag program or other litter reduction programs.
Currently, AB 939 fees are used for this program.

Sacramento, CA 95814 (916) 319-2148
SUBJECT: AB 87 (DAVIS)/SUPPORT
Dear Assembly Member Davis:
On behalf of the City of Azusa, I would like to express our support for AB 87, which would
prohibit, on and after July 1, 2010, a store, as defined, from ptoviding single -use (plastic and paper)
carryout liags to a customer unless the store charges a $0.25 per bag fee at the point of sale.
i
We support efforts that increase plastic and paper bag recycling and reduce the use of single use
carryout bags. Each year, approximately 19 billion plastic carryout bags are consumed in California.
At the same time less than 5 percent of those bags are recycled, with the remainder disposed in
landfills or end up as litter on our beaches, waterways, parks and roads. As a result, each year local
and state; governments spend tens of millions of dollars on litter prevention, cleanup, and
enforcement activities. Communities throughout California are grappling with this issue and are
searchingi for ways to reduce the impact that litter has on our quality of life.
Experience has shown that imposing a fee at the point of sale on plastic and paper bags can
significantly reduce the consumption of these bags. AB 87 would help reduce bag litter and other
environmental impacts at the source, while providing local governments with additional resources to
successfully address this issue.
We look forward to working with you and other stakeholders to support the bill as it moves through
the process.

DATE: APRIL 27, 2009
SUBJECT: REIMBURSEMENT TO COVINA IRRIGATING COMPANY FOR
INSTALLATION OF 24 INCH CONNECTION TO AZUSA'S CANYON
WATER TREATMENT PLANT TRANSMISSION LINE
RECOMMENDATION
I
It is recommended that the Utility Board approve reimbursement to Covina Irrigating Company
(CICo) for the installation of approximately forty feet of pipeline and appurtenance equipment to
extend the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) transmission line to connect to an existing Azusa
transmission line in Sierra Madre Avenue, creating the connection of the WTP to the Azusa
water distribution system.
BACKGROUND
In its regular meeting March 24, 2008,
contract to Ken Thompson Inc. for
transmission line from the water tre
Drive, and then south olaan Gabriel
Sierra Madre Avenue. W-243 was ac
i
Ale
lity Board of the City of Azusa awarded the
W-243 to install a 24 -inch diameter water
td!the west through a private road, Daybreak
b3 connect to an existing 24 -inch waterline in
as complete January 26, 2009
During the, construction of project W-243 it occurred to staff that the connection of the WFP 24 -
inch transmission line to the existing waterline in Sierra Madre Avenue would conflict and create
extended interruption of traffic on Sierra Madre Avenue due to the pending installation of 42 -
inch and 30 -inch waterlines at the same location by CICo and the City of Glendora respectively.
Staff deleted the connection of the WTP transmission pipeline to Sierra Madre from Thompson's
W-243 contract and terminated the new 24" waterline temporarily in a vault just north of Sierra
Madre Avenue.
BE
An arrangement was then made with CICo that CICo include the installation of the Azusa 24 -
inch transmission line connection in their bid documents as a line item, and its contractor was to
install Azusa's connection and CICo was to then invoice Azusa for the costs associated with the
installation of the connection. The low bidder for the CICO project, Leatherwood Construction,
bid $60,000 to make the connection. One Change Order was added for site condition changes,
bringing the line item total to $68,226.90.
The construction of the said connection by CICo's contractor is in progress and should be
finished soon. Staff recommends approval of the reimbursement of $68,226.90 to CICo to allow
CICo to pay the contractor when payment is due. If Azusa was to hire its own contractor, the
additional costs associated with bidding and administering a separate contract, and additional
repaving and delaying in the opening of Sierra Madre Avenue would not be very prudent.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of the reimbursement agreement would be $68,226.90 and will be funded from
Budget Account 32-80-000-721-7130n2107B-7130.

DATE: APRIL 27, 2009
SUBJECT: LODI #2 PROJECT UPDATE
This is a project status report regarding Lodi #2 Project. No action is required by the Utility
Board at this time.
Relevant Ptoiect Activities in the Past Six Months:
The project planning and permitting activities are progressing on schedule. The major planning
and permitting activities in the past six months are as follow:
i
• Application for Certificate (AFC) was submitted to California Energy Commission on
September 10, 2008
• Application for air permit was submitted to the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control
District on August 29, 2008
• . AFC was deemed data adequate by the CEC on November 20, 2008. This marks the
commencement of official review of the project by the CEC which is expected to take
about 12 months
• Completed the detailed engineering specification bid package on November 14, 2008
• Power island public bid opening took place on December 1, 2008
• CEC workshops/Hearings regarding Lodi #2 Project were conducted on January 15 and
February 23, 2009
The upcoming activities in the next few months are as follows:
• Preparation for project financing will take place from now until the end of this year
• Final CEC and air permits issued by November 2009
• Final decision to construct the project and finalization of project agreements by
December 2009
• Release project for construction by January 2010
• Commercial operation date is estimated to be April 2012
042
Proiect Budeet and Cost Estimates
The project is within budget to complete Phase 2 planning, engineering, and power island
procurement activities. The Phase 2 budget is approximately $40 million. Azusa's share is
approximately $1 million.
However, the updated cost estimate for the construction has risen substantially from the initial
cost estimate dated August, 2008 as follows:
Original Cost Estimate (August 2008):
• 255 megawatts combined cycle baseload power plant
• Additional 25 megawatts of peaking power capability
• Power plant efficiency = 7,000 btu/kWh
• Total estimated cost (inclusive of Phase 2 costs) = $320 million
Updated Cost Estimate (April 2009):
• 302 megawatts combined cycle baseload power plant
• No peaking power capability
• Power plant efficiency = 6,600 btu/kWh
• Total estimated cost (inclusive of Phase 2 costs) = $430 million
The substantial cost increase from $320 million to $430 million is attributed to the following
factors:
About half of the cost increase ($55 million) is due to the larger project, from the original
255 megawatt baseload configuration to 302 megawatt baseload configuration. Upon the
evaluation of power island equipment bids received in early December, the project
manager concluded that a larger power plant provides the best combination in terms of
plant efficiency and the economy of scale. On a per kw installed basis, the larger plant
cost with this increase is about $1,240/kW vs. the original cost estimate of $1,250/kW or
about equal, however the efficiency gain of a larger plant is about 6% (from 7,000
btu/kWh down to 6,600 btu/kWh). Staff concurs with the project manager's
recommendation to increase the size of the plant for efficiency gain for overall reduced
generation cost.
2. The remaining half of the cost increase ($55 million) is due to the additional financing
cost given the current conditions of financial markets. Traditionally muni project of this
size is debt financed at the start of the construction. As the construction and procurement
activities are ramped up, moneys from the debt financing are used to pay for the costs.
Until the moneys are disbursed to pay for the costs of equipments and construction
activities, such moneys are deposited in short term money market accounts earning
interests to defray the interest cost of long term debts. However, in the current financial
043
market conditions, the interest spread between the long debt and short debt has widened
considerably (long term 30 -year muni debt in the A category is about 6% whereas short
term interest rate is practically zero) and is not expected to tighten up in the foreseeable
future. Because of this fact, the project financing cost has arisen considerably due to the
additional financial carrying cost during the construction and the resulting additional long
term financing costs. The financial market development in the past 10 months could not
have been reasonably anticipated and thus this cost increase was not foreseen when the
original cost estimate was prepared in August, 2008. The impact of this cost increase is
approximately an additional $2/MWh in the cost of power generation or about 3% of the
total cost of generation.
Despite of the substantial cost increase of the project, the project remains to be economically
viable when compared to the alternatives reviewed by staff albeit the cost -benefit ration has
narrowed somewhat. Staff will continue to be engaged in the Phase 2 planning and engineering
activities, the ultimate decision whether to proceed with the construction will be made by the
project participants this summer once the parameters of financing and project costs are further
refined.

SUBJECT:' CALIFORNIA NEW ELECTRICITY MARKET UPDATE
As previously reported to the Board, the California Independent System Operator (CAISO)
started operating a new electricity market on April 1, 2009. This new market is called Market
Redesign and Technology Upgrade (MRTU). The MRTU is a centrally clearing electricity
market, like a stock market for electricity whereby sellers submit offers to sell and buyers submit
bids to buy+electricity on an hourly basis. The MRTU is a second attempt to implement a
centralized 'electricity market, the first attempt 10 years ago ended in a disaster culminating in
California energy crisis.
Staff is pleased to report that the MRTU launch went smoothly without. major problems. CAISO
is able to close the market on time every day at 10:00 am sharp Monday through Sunday, and
publish the market results by 1:00 pm sharp Monday through Sunday. As of today, CAISO has
published preliminary financial settlements through April 19 and we are able to validate the
majority of'financial charges. The feared extreme market outcomes and charges experienced
during the market simulations so far have not occurred which is a great relief.
Staff does observe that the new MRTU market is substantially more complex than the market
that existed'before April 1st and the shear complexity is a concern in itself as it has the potential
of inviting market manipulation and abusive behaviors. The financial settlement aspect is also
much more"complex than the previous market regime as there are many more charge types to
track and settle (a total of 115 individual charge types) requiring much more of staff's time in
performing settlement functions.
Staff will provide periodic update to the Board regarding the performance of the new electricity
market in California. "

Water rate hike for 55,000 county
residents passes preliminary vote
rlewis@sacbee.com
Published Tuesday, Apr. 21, 2009
Water rates are likely going up for about 55,000 customers in Sacramento County between
Rancho Cordova and Elk Grove.
A split Sacramento County Board of Supervisors followed Sacramento County Water Agency
recommendations and approved a preliminary reading of an $8 -a -month increase for most
flat -rate customers, effective July 1, followed by a $6.50 increase one year later.
This would raise monthly fees for the typical single-family flat -rate customer in both zones 40
and 41 from the current $42.80 per month to $50.80 starting July 1 and $57.30 starting July
1, 2010.
Metered customers also would see rate increases; the quantity rate for metered residential
customers Iwould go up 28 percent and for commercial customers it would go up 2 percent.
The typical; metered residence would see the bill go from $42.50 per month to $53.24 on July
1 and up to $60.05 the following year.
The water agency pushed for the increase, which was announced in February as necessary to
help repay{$418.7 million in bond debt for capital projects.
Supervisor Susan Peters, Jimmie Yee and Roberta MacGlashan voted for the increase.
Supervisor`s Roger Dickinson and Don Nottoli voted against the fee hike.
I
"This sends the wrong message in this economy," Nottoli said before casting his vote.
The ordinance will be on the board's May 12 consent agenda.
