Designation
Safety is one critical element of award

guideline for utility electric operations

Roof Leak
The roof at the Electric Yard is composed of thin
sheet metal material
The sometimes heavy rainfall this past year has
exacerbated the leaking roof problems at Electric
Yard
Roofing consultant was retained to identify preferred
solution
Strategy is to implement roofing solution over offices
on eastern part of building
If satisfactory, may recommend expansion at a later
date

CONSENT CALENDAR
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY
BOARD
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES41
DATE: JULY 25, 2011
SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HULS ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT, LLC FOR ADMINISTRATION OF OIL PAYMENT PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Utility Board waive formal Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and approve a
three-year professional services agreement for the administration of the used oil recycling payment
program.
BACKGROUND
The City of Azusa maintains a year-round used oil recycling program which is funded by a used oil
recycling block grant from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery
(CalRecycle). The program name has changed to Oil Payment Program starting FY 2010-2011. The
program being operated in Azusa consists of the City supplying used oil drain pans to participating used
oil collection centers, which currently includes Dick's Auto Supply, Firestone, Jiffy Lube, O'Reilly Auto
Parts, and Y Tires, and advertising to promote drop off of used oil at these centers.
Huls Environmental Management, LLC has provided assistance in administering the used oil block grant
since February 2001. Its current contract will expire on August 16, 2011. Huls has been promoting used
oil recycling at five collection centers in Azusa mainly by supplying them with used oil drain pans
purchased by the City under this program. The centers provide the drain pans free to residents to promote
recycling of motor oil. Huls tracks the number of drain pans given away each month and orders more
drain pans when the centers' inventories run low. Huls also tracks the gallons of oil and used filters
dropped off at the centers each month, and develops components of the report that must be submitted to
CalRecycle on an annual basis.
Staff considers Huls Environmental services unique and sole provider. There are very few consultants that
offer this type of service and since the City only receives a small grant from the State to afford the
services of larger companies, staff recommends waiving formal Request for Qualifications and awarding
008
Huls Environmental PSA
July 25, 2011
Page 2
another three-year agreement with Huls Environmental due to its proven services provided in the past and
guaranteed no increase in the contract amount for the next three years. Huls is currently signed up for a
not-to-exceed amount of$6,380 for FY 2010-2011. Of this amount, Huls only charged $3,162.50 for the
fiscal year; about 50% of its existing contract cost. Overall,Huls had been very efficient in its contractual
obligations and was below its total contract budget by 56% since 2001. To-date, the City has recycled
128,385 gallons used oil, collected 2,711 filters and distributed 4,677 drain pan containers to the residents
of Azusa.
The attached contract will continue the services of Huls with proposed enhanced education and public
awareness campaign which includes partnership with auto shop classes to target young generation of do-
it-yourselfers,utility bill inserts, and bus shelter ads.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City receives about $13,000 oil payment funding annually from CalRecycle and funds will be used to
pay for consultant services and other program activities.

SUBJECT: CONSULTING SERVICES PROPOSAL
USED MOTOR OIL RECYCLING PROGRAM — AUG 2011 TO AUG 2014
Dear Mr. Kalscheuer,
Huls Environmental Management, LLC is pleased to present this technical and cost proposal to
the City of Azusa (City) for consideration. Huls Environmental is currently under contract to
manage and implement the City's used motor oil recycling program. Our existing contract is
due to expire on August 16, 2011 . As detailed in this letter, Huls Environmental proposes to
continue administration of the City's used motor oil recycling program for the next three years,
ending August 2014.
Provided below is a summary of our proposed tasks, as well as our proposed budget. Our
intent is to create a well rounded recycling program that seeks to target every sector of the
Azusa community. As always, all grant programming will be carried out in accordance with
CalRecycle guidelines.
PROPOSED TASKS > To be accomplished annually.
I. Education & Public Awareness
• Advertisements — Community newsletters are effective in getting city specific information
to residents. For this reason, Huls Environmental will arrange for the publication of at least
one advertisement/article per year in the Azusa Tomorrow Newsletter. The information will
promote proper disposal of used motor oil as well as the container distribution program. We
will develop the content and submit it to the City for review and approval, before publication.
• Distribution of Public Education Materials — In the past, the City's certified collection
centers have functioned as distribution points for giveaways and literature. This targeted
approach will allow the City to provide used oil recycling information directly to do-it-
yourselfers in the community. Huls Environmental proposes to utilize the collection centers
as distribution points at least once each year. Items to be distributed by the centers may
include shop towels, funnels, fact sheets, and LA County HHW Roundup flyers. The items
to be developed and purchased will be selected in collaboration with the City and with
collection center staff. Only items pre-approved by CalRecycle will be considered. Huls
Environmental will prepare and deliver the items to the collection centers along with
023
distribution instructions. If desired by the City,the library,recreation center and city hail may
also serve as distribution points.
• Mailer—As an effective way of delivering the used oil message to every residence in the
City,Huls Environmental proposes the production of an annual mailer. This can be a stand
alone mailer,an insert in the water/electric bill,or an insert in the residential trash bill. The
mailer will provide information on the certified collection centers,the container distribution
program,and proper disposal of hazardous waste. The mailer will be bilingual,and will be
printed on recycled paper. All associated costs will be borne by the used oil grant.
• Partnership with Auto Shop Classes—Any high school auto shop class is comprised
entirely of young do-it-yourselfers with a distinct interest in auto mechanics. Students
enrolled in such classes perform routine auto maintenance in class and likely at home. Huls
Environmental proposes to capture this target audience by working directly with any auto
shop classes that may exist in the City. We will first contact the local high school to see if
such classes exist. Second, we will work together with the instructor(s) to arrange
classroom presentations, or the distribution of CalRecycle curriculum, containers, shop
towels,funnels,Karbord Creepers,fact sheets,etc.
• Transit Shelter Ads — Huls Environmental proposes the production and display of
advertisements in select bus shelters throughout the City. This will give the used oil
program high visibility among public transit passengers and motorists. We can either utilize
artwork available through CalRecycle, or create customized posters. Huls Environmental
will develop the posters according to the required specifications, and obtain City approval.
Clear Channel Outdoor Inc.(the firm responsible for managing the City's bus shelters)will
handle printing and installation of the posters. This can be done once per year, for a
specified number of weeks.
II. Collection Centers
• Container Distribution— Huls Environmental assisted the City in initiating a container
distribution program in 2001. Since then, each of the City's collection centers distributes
drain containers to residents in need on an ongoing basis. We will continue to contact all
five centers monthly and record the number of containers distributed, the amount of oil
collected, and the number of filters collected. The container manufacturer, GEO Plastics,
will store the City's supply of containers in their local facility. We will request the shipment of
additional containers to the individual centers as their supply is depleted.
• Site Visits—Huls Environmental will perform the annual certified center site visits as
required by CalRecycle. A site visit checklist will be completed per center for inclusion with
the annual grant report. Additionally, technical assistance with re-certification,
reimbursement claims, after hour drop-off,signage,etc.will be provided to the centers as
needed.
III. Grant Management and Reporting
• Quarterly Progress Reports — Huls Environmental will prepare and submit quarterly
progress reports to the City. The progress reports will provide a summary of tasks
accomplished during the quarter,as well as a record of drain containers distributed,and oil
and filter collection per center.
• Annual Grant Report — Huls Environmental will complete the City's annual report
package for submittal to CalRecycle by its annual due date of August 15.

CONSENT CALENDAR
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA
UTILITY BOARD
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JULY 25, 2011
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR SYSTEMS & SOFTWARE TO CONVERT 111
REPORTS USING NEW REPORTING SOFTWARE THAT IS
COMPATIBLE WITH CIS UPGRADE
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board approve for Systems & Software to
convert 111 reports using the new reporting software that is compatible with the
enQuesta Customer Information System upgrade, now in process. Cost for the report
conversion project is $23,040.
BACKGROUND
Included in the Statement of Work for the enQuesta Customer Information System (CIS)
upgrade was the conversion by Systems and Software of 45 of our highest priority reports
to the new Cognos reporting software. It was planned that our Customer Service
administrative analyst, assisted to some degree by an Information Systems analyst, would
write the remaining 138 reports since they both were trained on the new reporting
software.
Unexpectedly, in mid-June the Customer Service administrative analyst found another
job and resigned. Information Services is a small department and their resources have
been stretched to meet the growing need for technical support in the city. The
Information Systems analyst is typically called upon to write one-time reports for special
Light & Water studies, but this individual does not have the time to convert the large
number of reports needed by Customer Service at this time.

Report Conversion Project

Page 2
Customer Service staff segregated the required reports into three lists — those critical
reports needed prior to the upgrade (50), those needed by end of December (61), and
those not needed at this time (27), and requested a quote from Systems & Software to do
the work. This was sole sourced because Systems & Software is the most familiar with
the enQuesta Customer Information System. Moreover, Azusa Municipal Code 2-523 (c)
does not require staff to follow competitive purchasing procedures when purchasing
software. Cost to convert the first 50 reports is $10,400 and the 61 reports needed by the
end of December is $12,640, for a total of$23,040.
FISCAL IMPACT
Cost for converting the 111 reports is $23,040. Funds are available in account number
31-40-711-903-6415.

SCHEDULED ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY
BOARD
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JULY 25, 2011
SUBJECT: ADOPT THE APPA SAFETY MANUAL FOR THE ELECTRIC DIVISION
AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO PERFORM A SAFETY AUDIT USING AN
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board:
1) Adopt the American Public Power Association Safety Manual (14th Edition) as the
primary safety guidelines/rules for electric workers in the Electric Division.
2) Authorize staff to solicit proposals from independent third parties to perform a Safety
Audit of its water and electric field operations.
BACKGROUND
Early this year, Azusa Light & Water received an award from the American Public Power
Association (APPA) for national designation as Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3). As part
of the RP3 Award, applicants had to provide documentation on their safety record and
performance. The RP3 Award is good for 2 years and is due to expire in 2013.
Although Azusa Light & Water met the basic APPA safety documentation under the safety
criteria of the RP3 Award, APPA suggested that recipients formally adopt the APPA safety
manual as they strive to meet the next higher level of RP3 designation. Adoption of the safety
manual will also provide additional reference for addressing worker's safety related issues in the
workplace.

Safety Manual & Audit
July 25, 2011
Page 2
Due to the length of the manual and copyright protection, a hardcopy is available for public
review at the 2nd floor counter of Azusa Light & Water offices at 729 N. Azusa Ave. A copy of
the table of contents from the manual is attached to this report to provide you with an outline of
the manual's content.
As part of its on-going effort focusing on safety, Staff desires to improve its safety performance
and/or practices currently in place for its field operations (water and electric). An independent
safety audit is one way to uncover safety deficiencies, if there be any to be found, and improve
methods of doing field work. Such an audit is a good starting point to identify areas for further
safety improvements and develop recommendations on best safety practices employed or
implemented in other small municipal utilities nationwide.
Staff proposes to engage the services of an independent safety auditor by soliciting proposals
from companies or individuals engaged in this type of assessment work. Safety audit proposals
will be presented to the Utility Board at a later date for consideration and approval.
As an aside, Staff recently posted licensed safety videos for online viewing by anyone with
broadband access on the Azusa Light & Water website. These videos are also being aired on the
City's local cable TV channel.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the Safety Manual and solicitation of professional services for a safety audit is an
administrative task and will not involve a significant expense. Safety audit proposals will be
presented later to the Utility Board for consideration and approval.

BOARD
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES o . '
DATE: JULY 25, 2011
SUBJECT: APPROVE THE PLANS TO REFURBISH EXISTING ROOF & PERIMETER
FENCE OF THE ELECTRIC YARD, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY CLERK
TO ADVERTISE NOTICE INVITING FOR BIDS.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board:
1) Approve the plans to refurbish the existing roof and south side perimeter fence of the
Electric Yard building located at 1020 West 10th Street, and
2) Authorize the City Clerk to advertise Notice Inviting for Public Bids.
BACKGROUND
Prior to acquisition by Azusa Light & Water, the Electric Yard building located at 1020 West
10th Street was used for steel fabrication and is designed as a metal shed building. In 2003, the
building premises were converted into an Electric Yard in order to house utility trucks, electrical
construction materials and field operations office of the Electric Division.
Due to rain damage and vandalism, Staff is proposing to improve the roofing surface and the
south perimeter fence. Plans are to overlay a portion of the existing roof (the portion over
finished office spaces) with a structurally appropriate roofing material and coating. The south-
side perimeter fence will be replaced with a concrete block wall and wrought iron upper barrier.
The original roof of this facility was designed with thin sheet metal roofing material which was
left intact when the building was remodeled. After several years, however, a portion of the
038
Electric Yard Roof&Fencing
July 25,2011
Page 2
roofing material has begun to leak.During the heavy rainstorms last year,a significant amount of
water damage impacted the inside premises.Moreover,because the roofing is made of thin sheet
metal, the heat during the hot summer days is reflected inside the building premises creating
unpleasant"oven type"temperature condition—a roofing overlay should reduce this heat build
up condition.
The existing chain link perimeter fence along the south side is adjacent to an open railroad spur.
This visible,unsecured and weak fencing had proven to be a concern over the years with several
break-ins. In addition to the security surveillance cameras recently installed, the proposed
fencing improvement should help prevent future instances of vandalism and thefts.
FISCAL IMPACT
This Capital Improvement Project has been budgeted this fiscal year and funds are available
under CIP#7130 73012 A. Results of the project bidding will be presented to the Utility Board
for consideration and approval at a later date.

SCHEDULED ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY
BOARD
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JULY 25, 2011
SUBJECT: APPROVE PARTICIPATION WITH SGVMWD IN AN UPDATED
HYDROELECTRIC FEASIBILITY STUDY IN AN AMOUNT UP TO $15,000
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board authorize the Director of Utilities to consummate
arrangements with the San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District (SGMWD) to pay 25% of
the costs to perform an updated Hydroelectric Feasibility Study with Azusa's share not-to-exceed
$15,000.
BACKGROUND
In a joint study with SGVMWD (costs split 50-50) which was completed in June 2009, Stetson
Engineers Inc. found that on a "reconnaissance level", the construction and operation of
additional hydroelectric facilities in the San Gabriel Valley was economically viable based on
market conditions and projected water availability information at that time.
Both SGVMWD and AL&W are interested in updating the key findings of this earlier report and
exploring the potential to construct up to four new hydroelectric plants in further detail. The four
potential locations for new hydroelectric facilities would be along SGVMWD's pipeline at the
Emerald, Etiwanda and Big Dalton power reduction stations and at the Azusa Flow Structure.
In this regard, SGVMWD solicited a proposal from Stetson Engineers to evaluate in more detail
three different power generation siting scenarios. They will also perform preliminary equipment
selection (type and cost), assess water availability for electric generation purposes, identify
project site and equipment layouts, and update conceptual cost/benefit analyses. Stetson's
proposed cost to perform this work is $49,000 with Azusa's 25% share to be $12,250.

SGVMWD Hydroelectric Study
July 25, 2011
Page 2
Based on the June 2009 report and the new state law increasing Renewable Portfolio Standards
to 33% by 2020, Staff believes that it could be beneficial to purchase electricity produced from
new hydroelectric plants in the local area. As a result, Staff recommends participation in the
proposed study.
In return for its support of feasibility study work, Azusa has the first right of refusal to buy the
electric output from any new hydroelectric facilities built as a result of the study work.
FISCAL IMPACT
Upon approval of Azusa's participation in this study, staff will administratively process a budget
amendment in the amount of $15,000 to Power Resources FY 2011-12 Operation Budget using
account no. 33-40-775-570-6340 (Special Studies) to fund Azusa's share of the hydroelectric
study.

SCHEDULED ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY
BOARD
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JULY 25, 2011
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board adopt the legislative positions referenced in this
report and authorize the Mayor to sign letters addressed to legislators as may be required during
the remainder of the legislative session to advocate the adopted positions.
BACKGROUND
Several utility-related bills were introduced earlier this year by the State legislature. Our affiliate
associations, namely California Municipal Utilities Association (CMUA) and Southern
California Public Power Authority (SCPPA), have been tracking bills of interest to their
members and advocating various positions.
The CMUA identified 332 bills of potential interest to members, and has adopted about 46
"Support" or "Oppose" positions. 14 positions were taken on Electric utility related bills, and 14
positions were taken on water utility related legislation. A number of positions were also
adopted regarding general government issues.
Some of the Electric utility related topics include: Smart Grid, Pole Attachments, Net Metering,
Distributed Generation, Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, and Copper Theft. Some of the
Water utility related legislative topics include Submetering, Recycled Water, Water Quality,
Delta Periphery Canal, Water Replenishment, Infrastructure Funding, and various Environmental
issues.
The Los Angeles County Integrated Waste Management Task Force has also been monitoring 53
bills related to solid waste management and recycling, and adopted 20 positions on various bills
related to landfill management, recycling program funding, definitions of facilities to qualify
them as renewable energy resources, household hazardous waste programs, and changes in AB
939.
2011 Legislation Positions
July 25, 2011
Page 2
Although the current Legislative Session ends in September 2011, staff recommends adoption of
the following positions on bills listed below:
AB 316 This bill would provide that every person who steals, takes, or carries away copper
Copper Theft materials which are of a value exceeding $950 is guilty of grand theft, punishable by a
fine not exceeding $2,500, imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by
both that fine and imprisonment, or by imprisonment in the state prison not exceeding 16
months,or 2 or 3 years and a fine not to exceed$10,000.
RECOMMENDED POSITION: SUPPORT
Reason for Position: Strengthens current law which allows those that steal copper to be
charged with misdemeanor crime. Tougher punishment should deter criminal acts
associated with theft of utility infrastructure.
AB 341 This bill would require CalRecycle,on January 1, 2020,and annually thereafter,to ensure
Solid Waste that 75% of all solid waste is diverted from landfills; the bill would also statutorily
establish a mandatory commercial recycling requirement for local jurisdictions, among
other things.
RECOMMENDED POSITION: OPPOSE
Reason for Position: Cost of achieving higher levels of waste diversion could be
significantly higher, and for Azusa, may not be feasible due to current contracts and
operating efficiencies of facilities used.
AB 403 This bill would require the Department of Public Health to post a report on its progress on
Water Quality developing a drinking water standard for hexavalent chromium(chromium 6). A standard
for chromium 6 is overdue as it was required by prior legislation on or before January 1,
2004.
RECOMMENDED POSITION: SUPPORT
Reason for Position: To establish process for development and adoption of a chromium 6
standard for drinking water so that utilities can further assess compliance with such
standard and ensue safe drinking water.
AB 723 This bill extends Public Goods Charge (PGC) from January 1, 2012, to January 1, 2020.
Public Goods The PGC is used by electric utilities to fund energy efficiency, renewable energy, and
Charge research, development, and demonstration programs that enhance system reliability and
provide in-state benefits.
RECOMMENDED POSITION: SUPPORT
Reason for Position: Extension would continue PGC until January 1, 2020, and provide
funding for the various energy efficiency programs being offered by utilities statewide.
043
2011 Legislation Positions
July 25, 2011
Page 3
AB 1027 Requires public utilities to make appropriate space available on utility poles and other utility
Pole Attachments fixtures for use by cable television corporations, video service providers, and telephone
corporations. The bill would allow fees to be developed and imposed as well as conditions for
access and use of such facilities.
RECOMMENDED POSITION: OPPOSE
Reason for Position: The bill is too open ended and would obligate the utility to ensure access
to just about any company that wants to use our facilities for specified purposes; it could lead
to over congestion, safety issues, and add unknown costs to our operations in the area of
administration and maintenance.
SB 34 Would enact the California Water Resources Investment Act of 2011 to finance water
Water Surcharge resources investment program through imposition of a state surcharge on retail water suppliers
based on volume of water provided. Since this would in effect be a tax, this bill requires a
two-thirds vote of the legislature.
RECOMMENDED POSITION: OPPOSE
Reason for Position: It is unknown as to what this funding mechanism will cost retail
ratepayers and it is unclear as to who will benefit from the fees paid.
SB 859 Current law considers residence address a confidential record of Dept. of Motor Vehicles.
E. Vehicle This bill would allow utilities to request and obtain address information from DMV on owners
Disclosure who register electric vehicles through the DMV.

INFORMATION ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY
BOARD
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
i
DATE: JULY 25, 2011 ,I
SUBJECT: UTILITY BILL POSTAGE UPDATE
This is follow-up to a Utility Board question at the March 2011 Utility Board meeting when
reviewing a scheduled item regarding a contract extension for bill print and mail, online billing,
and payment at our web site or over the phone. A board member asked if we are getting the best
postage rate from our bill print and mail vendor, Infosend, Inc. As a result, Infosend was asked
by staff to re-evaluate postage cost options.
As background, the utility was on a fixed rate of$0.365 per one-ounce mail piece until April 17,
2011, when U.S.P.S. rates increased $0.008 to $0.373. The postage cost for each individual mail
piece varies based on the size of the batch and the concentration of zip codes within the batch.
Batches with less than 500 mail pieces do not qualify for digital presorting and go out at the
highest possible presort rate.
Infosend's study determined that we can either stay on the fixed rate of$0.373 or go to an actual
rate basis which currently averages $0.354 per one-ounce barcoded and presorted mail piece.
Non-barcoded mail, which is limited in amount, will continue to go at the regular rates, currently
$0.44. Based on the approximate 426,000 pieces Infosend mails for us each year, the savings
could be about $8,100/year by changing to an actual postage rate basis.
At staff's request, Infosend made the change to "actual basis" effective July 1, 2011. It will be
necessary for Azusa to minimize the amount of non-barcoded mail by correcting typos in the
mailing address in the CIS database. Azusa Light & Water can periodically audit its postage
costs to calculate average per-piece postage.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be an estimated annual savings of$8,100.

INFORMATION ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE `A
UTILITY BOARD
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JULY 25, 2011
SUBJECT: LODI ENERGY CENTER STATUS REPORT
As you know, Azusa Light & Water has a 7.8 MW (2.8757%) share of the 280 MW Lodi
Energy Center (LEC). Construction on the project began in July, 2010 with a planned
commercial operations date of June 2012.
The Northern California Power Agency is overseeing construction of the project.
Construction work is proceeding at an escalating pace. To date, approximately 315,000
person-hours have been spent in construction with over 500,000 planned in total. The
Project Manager reports that the project remains on schedule and budget.
Some key status items of the Lodi Energy Center (as of June 30, 2011) project are as
follows:
• Total project budget is $440 million with $266 million (65%) spent to date. Of the
budgeted equipment costs of$178 million, 95% has been spent.
• With AB32 enforcement beginning in January 2013, work is ongoing to establish a
GHG Allowance Procurement and Management Program.
• Similarly with the new RPS Bill SBX 1-2 and SB32, NCPA is proposing formation of
an LEC Biogas Acquisition Program.
• Safety is top priority for NCPA and their contractors. Presently, there is an average of
250 workers on the construction site. To date, there have been 2 OSHA recordable
accidents and 7 first aid type incidents. There have been 42 Health & Safety
meetings on-site and 232 safety inspections. Only one (1) Lost Work days have
occurred over past year.

July 25, 2011
Page 2
• Through June 30, 2011, the LEC Treasurer reports a portfolio of $161 million with
interest rates being 0.2 percent or less depending on investment timeframes.
• As typical for a large (i.e. $430 million) construction project, there have been
numerous change order requests by ARB, the construction manager. I am pleased to
report that all change orders are vigorously researched and managed by NCPA's
team. A difficulty in responding to certain claims (i.e. those related to schedule) is
NCPA's belief that ARB has not yet provided a Detailed Construction Schedule. This
matter is expected to be resolved by month-end.
• Siemens is the provider of the major "Power Island" equipment. The gas turbine and
generator have been delivered on-site and set on their foundations. The Steam
Turbine manufacturing is complete and being readied for shipping from Rotterdam,
Netherlands to the Port of Stockton. With respect to the Siemens' contract,
Engineering is said to be 98% complete, procurement is 100% complete and
manufacturing is 99% complete.
• Pacific Gas & Electric, provider of the natural gas transport pipeline to LEC, has
requested a relatively minor reroute of the high pressure gas pipeline as well as a
widening of the easement. As a result, NCPA has requested an amendment of its
California Energy Commission's license for the project.
In summary, the Lodi Energy Center is proceeding according to budget and schedule for
a commercial operating date in June 2012.

INFORMATION ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA
UTILITY BOARD
FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: JULY 25, 2011
SUBJECT: AB 939 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
AB 939, the State's recycling mandate adopted in 1989, required all cities and counties in
California to implement various recycling programs and divert 50% of waste from
landfills by the year 2000. In 2008, the 50% diversion rate was converted into a "pounds
per person per day" disposal limit with the adoption of SB 1016, and Azusa's limit was
set at 6.3 pounds per person per day.
The State recycling laws require that all cities and counties submit an annual report to the
State by August 1st, which: (1) calculates the disposal pounds per person per day for the
preceding calendar year; and (2) provides a report on the various recycling and
educational programs the agency has implemented during the last calendar year, or 2010
in this case.
The report is filled out and filed online using forms provided by CalRecycle, the State
agency charged with administering AB 939 compliance. Utilities Administration
submitted the City of Azusa's 2010 Annual Report on July 13`h and a copy is attached for
your reference. For 2010, Azusa disposed of 4.3 pounds per person per day, about 12%
lower than the reported 4.9 pounds per person per day in 2009. Staff believes that
disposal tonnages are down largely due to the economy.
Staff also reported continued implementation of various programs, including processing
waste at Athens' material recovery facility or MRF. This and other program activity is
described in attached report.
