MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 SUBJECT: REQUEST APPROVAL FOR PROGRAMMING TO AUTOMATE PAYMENT INTERFACE PROCESS RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Utility Board approve award of a contract to Systems & Software to automate the process of uploading/downloading payment files from our three payment vendors in amount not-to-exceed $16,000. BACKGROUND Over the past few years, Utility Customer Service has offered a variety of bill payment options for customers. This has caused Customer Service work to be increasingly more technical. Each business day, customer files must be uploaded to each vendor's secure file transfer protocol (FTP) internet site and payment files downloaded to Azusa. This is in addition to verifying that payments have been correctly and timely applied to customer accounts. Automating the process of uploading and downloading files to our three payment vendors -- Infosend, Inc., RT Lawrence Corporation, and Paymentus -- would save time and increase accuracy and the utility could be guaranteed it would occur automatically at a specific time each business day. This is a sole source request due to the proprietary nature of the utility's billing software. Staff has reviewed the quote by Systems & Software to do the programming and feel that it is reasonable. Contracted work would also include interfacing with the three payment vendors to configure and test the automated FTP process. FISCAL IMPACT The cost of this work will not exceed $16,000 and sufficient funds are budgeted in Account Number 31-40-711-903-6415.

MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES iAri DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 SUBJECT: RATIFY AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR REPAIR OF UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC CONDUIT ALONG AVENIDA CONEJO NORTH OF SIERRA MADRE AVENUE RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Utility Board ratify the award of a contract to AAJ Incorporated in the amount not-to-exceed $12,745 for urgent repairs on the existing conduit that runs along the north end of Avenida Conejo and onto the property of Azusa Green Golf Course, north of Sierra Madre Avenue. BACKGROUND In May 2011, electric crews were called to restore power to a few residential customers located near Calle De Las Estrellas along Avenida Conejo north of Sierra Madre Avenue. Crews diagnosed that a portion of an old underground cable failed and had to be replaced in order to restore power. Shortly thereafter, electric crews planned on pulling out the remaining aged underground cables, upstream from the location of the original failure. The crew discovered a portion of the old cable was stuck inside the conduit. After several exploratory excavations, it was found that tree roots had managed to penetrate and grow inside the electric conduit irreparably damaging the cable. The affected electric conduit and cables needed replacement on an expedited basis to ensure electric reliability in the area. As a result, Staff solicited informal quotes from contractors who specialize in conduit installation. Three informal quotes were obtained as follows: 009 Conduit Repair—AAJ Incorporated September 26, 2011 Page 2 Company Amount 1)AAJ, INC. $ 12,745 2) PERRY C. THOMAS, INC. $ 22,226 3) MJ STARLITE, INC. $ 23,540 Staff awarded the conduit repair contract to the lowest cost company. Due to the cancellation of the August Utility Board meeting and nature of work to be performed, a contract for the system maintenance work was executed by the City Manager as provided for by Azusa Municipal Code Section 2-523. FISCAL IMPACT This urgent conduit repair is covered under the Electric Division's Annual Operating Budget and funds were available in account# 33-40-735-940-6473 under Maintenance.

MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES kc° (1V DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 SUBJECT: AWARD A CONTRACT TO BEST CONTRACTING SERVICES FOR REFURBISHING THE EXISTING ROOF AT ELECTRIC DIVISION YARD, AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN CONTRACT RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board: 1) Award a contract to Best Contracting Services in the amount not-to-exceed $112,345 for refurbishing the existing building roof at the Electric Division Yard (1020 W. 10th Street). 2) Authorize the City Manager to sign the contract with Best Contracting Services. BACKGROUND At its July 25 meeting, the Azusa Utility Board authorized Staff to solicit public bids for refurbishing a substantial portion of the existing metal roof on the Electric Division Yard building located at 1020 W. 10th Street. The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in August, 2011. Thereafter the following bids were publicly opened at the City Clerk's office on September 13, 2011: Base Bid Company Amount 1) Best Contracting Services $112,345 2) Tecta America $132,000 3) Midwest Roofing, Inc. $158,674 4) Four Seasons Roofing Inc. $187,001 oil Award Roof Contract—Best Contracting Services September 26, 2011 Page 2 Staff reviewed the lowest bid submitted by Best Contracting Services and found it to be in compliance with the approved roof refurbishing plan and specifications. Best Contracting has previously performed work for the Department and their previous roof repair contract performance was satisfactory. Thus staff is recommending the award to the lowest responsible bidder. FISCAL IMPACT The fiscal impact of this project is $112,345 and funding is available in the approved Electric Fund Capital Improvement Project budget under project#73012-A. Prepared by: F.

RATER CONSENT CALENDAR TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES E 1 DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 SUBJECT: ANNUAL WATER RIGHTS TRANSACTIONS CONDUCTED BY WATER DIVISION RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Utility Board ratify water rights leases to the Sunny Slope Water Company and Miller-Coors and ratify signature of the leasing documents signed by the Sunny Slope Water Company as allowed by Resolution No.09-C69 approved by the Utility Board on July 27, 2009. BACKGROUND The City of Azusa produces water from the Main San Gabriel Basin which is controlled by a Judgment entered into the Court records January 4, 1973, which has been periodically amended thereafter. The Judgment requirements are enforced by the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster office, with Court oversight. In 1993, the City of Azusa purchased the Azusa Valley Water Company along with the substantial water rights owned and controlled by Azusa Valley. Furthermore, the City of Azusa ("City") has a controlling interest in the Azusa Agricultural Irrigating Company ("Azusa Ag.") and by contract with the Miller-Coors Brewing Company, the City controls those water rights belonging to Miller-Coors that equal the Miller demand on the City's water system. Water produced by the Hsu Water Filtration Plant is also a use of Azusa's Basin Water Rights that is monitored by the Watermaster office. The City is the owner of record and otherwise beneficially controls, or is the duly authorized and acting agent for, the ownership of 8.11334 percent of the Production Rights (not including Miller-Coors) in the Main San Gabriel Basin as adjudicated in the case of"Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District vs. City of Alhambra et al." In order to keep the Basin replenished under the Judgment, each year in May the Watermaster Board sets the Safe Yield for the following year and also sets the prices and assessments to be applied to the water produced in the current year. This year the price of USGVMWD replenishment water was set at $512/Acre- 013 Water Rights Lease Agreements September 26, 2011 Page 2 foot ($587 last year) and SGVMWD replenishment water was set at $130/Acre-foot ($130 last year). The amount of water rights that the above entities possess varies with the Safe Yield for the Basin. In Fiscal Year 2010-2011 the Basin Safe Yield was set at 170,000 acre feet (AF). Of that 170,000 AF, the City of Azusa has the water rights to produce 8.11334 percent of 170,000 AF (13,793 AF) plus 3,800 in Diversion Rights. Including Miller-Coors' water rights this year, the City has approximately 20,621 AF of water right. This Fiscal Year, 2011-2012, the Basin Safe Yield has been set at 210,000 AF which will increase the City's corresponding water rights. In a typical year, the water rights controlled by the City are transferred between the City entities to offset overproduction with no exchange of money and Azusa purchases a small amount of Replacement Water. However, because the Main San Gabriel Basin has been in distress due to lack of rainfall and the inability of Metropolitan Water District of Southern California to deliver Replenishment Water to the Basin, Watermaster has temporarily suspended certain rules concerning water rights transfer that has allowed the City of Azusa to make some extraordinary water rights transfers to other Basin water producers. The Watermaster stipulation each year is that all leases be finalized and notarized by the end of day June 30. The effect of the temporary change in Watermaster water rights transfers is to allow the City to purchase a maximum amount of replenishment water from SGVMWD at $130/AF (7,112.00 AF @ $130/AF; $924,560.00) which allows the City to conserve approximately 5,844 AF of its own water rights. The City is then able to lease some of those rights (1,085 AF) to willing lessees, in this case the Sunny Slope Water Company, at 93.25%of$512/AF (1,000 AF at 93.5%of$512; $477,440.00); and Miller- Coors at 92% of$512 /AF (85 AF at 92% of$512; $40,038.00). Since Miller—Coors had a base water right of 2,043.24 AF in 2010-2011, and used 1,535.76 AF of Azusa Water, by contract with the City of Azusa, Miller transferred 1,535.76AF back to the City for no cost. The benefit to the parties to these transactions is that they can offset their pumping in the Main Basin at a savings of between 6.5% and 8% of$512/ AF, and the City of Azusa retains approximately 4,759.39 AF of water right to be used in Fiscal Year 2011-2012. Lease revenue realized by the City of Azusa for FY 2010-2011 total $517,478. Considering the cost of Replacement Water at $130/AF for 1,085 AF ($141,050) and total assessments on water rights and production ($14,105.00), the net gain on leasing by the City for FY 2010-2011 is $362,323.00. The Safe Yield set by Watermaster for FY year 2011-2012 is 210,000 AF, which will increase the City's production rights, and the 4,759.39 AF of Production Right that the City retains will provide a buffer against possible future water rate increases. If Watermaster continues the suspension of the Water Rights Transfer restrictions, similar transactions may be a possibility by June of 2012. Q14 Water Rights Lease Agreements September 26, 2011 Page 3 FISCAL IMPACT The fiscal impact of ratifying the water rights leases with the Sunny Slope Water Company and Miller-Coors is $517,478.00 in revenue with a net of approximately $362,323.00 considering purchase of water from SGVMWD, and water assessments, with approximately 4,759.39 AF of carryover water rights remaining for use in fiscal year 2011-2012.

AZUSA LIGHT 8 WATU CONSENT CALENDAR TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES ki (911‘DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 SUBJECT: 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 approve a bid by Ironman in the amount of$61,981 to retrofit four (4) Water Division diesel trucks with Particulate Matter (PM) Traps pursuant to Azusa Municipal Code 2-523. 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 (GVWR) 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. In 2009, the Water Division identified ten (10) diesel trucks weighing over 14,000 pounds that fall under this regulation. Of those ten (10) trucks, three (3) were exempt from the regulatory requirements due to low annual mileage, and three (3) non-exempt trucks were modified in 2009 following Utility Board approval of a $41,295.57 funding request at the April 27, 2009 Board meeting. The four (4) trucks remaining could not be modified until the equipment required for those trucks had been re-certified by the CARB for installation. If the equipment had been installed and later not re-certified, the installed de-certified equipment would have had to be removed and certified equipment installed. 01f Diesel Truck Retrofits September 26, 2011 Page 2 Based on prior quotes obtained in January 2008 and April 2009,it was determined that Ironman was the lower price of two bidders for this type of retrofit equipment and installation work. Given the compliance deadline for these retrofits, the Water Division sought to affirm the 2009 low bid, to install the required equipment on the four(4)remaining trucks. The price quote of$61,981.00 was affirmed by Ironman in attached letter,including sales taxes,and staff is recommending that this bid be accepted pursuant to Azusa Municipal Code Section 2-523—Alternative Purchasing Procedure— as being in the best interest of the City. FISCAL IMPACT The award of$61,981.00 will be paid for using fiscal year 2011-2012 operating budget account 32-40-723-761-7140 following administrative approval of budget transfers from other accounts.

Azusa Ave. Azusa, California 91702 Dear Mr. Morrow: The State of California Air Resources Board (ARB) has the authority to audit the records of fleets with heavy-duty diesel vehicles. These audits are conducted to verify that vehicles with heavy-duty diesel engines operating in California are in compliance with applicable ARB regulations. This letter is to advise you that your company is being audited for compliance with the regulations listed below. PUBLIC AGENCIES AND UTILITIES The Public Agencies and Utilities Regulation applies to: trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating greater (GVWR)than 14,000 pounds; with engine model years (MY) 1960 through 2006; that do not collect solid waste or recyclables; and are not emergency vehicles, school buses, urban buses, or transit fleet vehicles. These regulations are codified in Title 13, CCR, 2020 et seq. and Section 2022.1(1), and require PAUs to provide ARB, upon request, records pertaining to the PAU fleet. The regulation requires all PAUs to install ARB verified emission control devices known as Best Available Control Technology(BACT), to reduce diesel emissions from non-exempt vehicles through 2011. These regulations also required the reporting of retrofitting and other strategies used to meet compliance deadlines. ARB is requesting compliance records for each terminal in your fleet. Input your information on the Record Keeping Forms provided on the ARB Public Agencies and Utilities Vehicle website at: http://www.arb.ca;qov/msproq/publicfleets/compliancetools.htm. Once completed, please email your report to ajuarez ac arb.ca.gov. The following information, specific to all PAUs, must also be included: (1) Total number of PAU vehicles in your fleet. Please be sure to provide this information by terminal. (2) Total number of vehicles in Group 1 (engine MY 1960-1987); Group 2 (engine MY 1988-2002); and Group 3 (engine MY 2003-2006). The energy challenge facing California is real. Every Californian needs to take immediate action to reduce energy consumption. For a list of simple ways you can reduce demand and cut your energy costs,see our website:http.//www arb.ca.aov. California Environmental Protection Agency Printed on Recycled Paper 018 Mr.Morrow August 15,2011 Page 2 (3)The number of vehicles and the strategy that was used to bring the Group 1,2,and 3 vehicles into compliance(sold out-of-state,scrapped,retrofitted,reassigned as backup,or replaced with alternative fuel vehicles)by December 31,2007. (4)Copies of documentation for all vehicles that were scrapped,sold out-of-state,or reassigned to backup service. (5)For retrofitted vehicles provide the following; • license plate number, • vehicle identification number(VIN), • model year, • engine family name,and • retrofit installed. "Nate: Be sure to provide the correct engine family name,specific diesel emission control strategy(DECS),manufacturer name,and the DECS family name(e.g., CA/MMM/YYYY/PM#/NO#/ON/SYS##). PERIODIC SMOKE INSPECTION PROGRAM The Periodic Smoke Inspection Program(PSIP)became operative on July 1, 1998. Under this program,owners of California-based fleets with two or more vehicles are required to perform annual smoke opacity tests on their heavy-duty diesel vehicles that are four years old and older with GWVR greater than 6,000 pounds(13 CCR 2190,et seq.). To verify compliance with this program,ARB will need to review smoke test records for the most recent two consecutive years for each diesel-powered vehicle that fits the above criteria and is registered in the State of California. Pursuant to Assembly Bill 1488(Mendoza),beginning January 1,2010,some diesel vehicles between 6,000 and 14,000 gross vehicle weight rating,will now fall under the Smog Check Program administered by the Bureau of Automotive Repair. Please refer to the enclosed Enforcement Advisory 351 to determine compliance. EMISSION CONTROL LABEL PROGRAM The Emission Control Label Program(ECL)was implemented in 2007. This program requires vehicles operating within California—including those in transit from Mexico,Canada, or any other state—to be equipped with engines meeting emission standards at least as stringent as Federal emission standards for the model-year that the engine was manufactured (13 CCR 2183,et seq). Additionally,all heavy-duty vehicle engines must have a legible manufacturer's ECL properly affixed to the engine showing this equivalency. To verify compliance with this program,the enclosed"ECL Statement of Facts"must be completed, signed,and submitted to the ARB. It should be noted that this does not preclude the ARB from conducting an inspection to verify that the ECL is affixed to the vehicle's engine. For vehicles in your fleet that are subject to the PSIP and ECL program requirements,please provide the following documentation to the ARB: (1) Smoke Test Record copies for the two most recent consecutive years as of the date of this letter for each heavy-duty vehicle registered in California; • 019 - Mr. Morrow August 15, 2011 Page 3 (2) Vehicle Registration copy for each vehicle; (3) "ECL Statement of Facts"(http.//www.arb.ca.gov/enf/hdvip/eci_statement_of_facts.pdf); (4) "PSIP & ECL Audit Table"(http://www.arb ca.gov/enf/hdvip/psip_audit_table.xls), which must include all of the following information: • List all vehicles in your fleet subject to ECL & PSIP program requirements. Note: if there is more than one terminal in California, include information for vehicles from ALL terminals in California, by terminal. • Vehicle Unit Number; • License Plate Number; • Vehicle Identification Number(VIN); • Engine Make, Model, and Year; • ECL information ('Axed', 'Not Affixed', and/or 'Non-Operational); and • Smoke Test Record information—subject to PSIP program (Yes'or' No), date tested, and test results ('Pass'or 'Fail). Y Note: This is in addition to the smoke test record copies. OFF-ROAD DIESEL VEHICLE REGULATION The off-road diesel vehicle regulation (13 CCR 2449, et seq.) imposed limits on idling, buying older off-road diesel vehicles, and selling vehicles in 2008; and in 2009, all off-road vehicles were required to be reported to ARB and properly labeled. For vehicles in your fleet that are subject to the off-road diesel regulation: (1) Register all the off-road diesel vehicles (ORDV) in your fleet with the ARB Diesel Off-road On- line Reporting System (DOORS) at https:/lsecure.arb.ca.gov/ssldoors/doors_reporting/reporting.php; (2) Affix ARB Equipment Identification Number (EIN) to each ORDV; and (3) Submit the following documents to the ARB: • Certificate Of Reported Compliance; • "EIN Statement of Facts" (http-//www.arb.ca.gov/enf/hOvip/ein_statement_ofiacts.pdf); and • Written No-idling Policy (for medium or large fleets). All of the documentation listed above should be submitted to the ARB, at the mail or email address below, no later than September 16, 2011: Andrea Juarez, Air Pollution Specialist California Air Resources Board Enforcement Division 9480 Telstar Ave., Suite 4 El Monte, CA 91731 • ajuarezfa,arb.ca.gov 020 Mr. Morrow August 15, 2011 Page 4 Fleets that are out of compliance with these regulations are subject to civil penalties. To avoid potential citation and penalties, you must provide the requested information to the ARB no later than September 16, 2011. Failure to provide the requested documents, or failure to contact the ARB regarding this request, will result in a determination that you are out of compliance with the regulations and appropriate penalties will be assessed. The California Department of Motor Vehicles may also refuse the registration, renewal, or transfer of registration if ARB violations are left unresolved, pursuant to section 4755 of the California Vehicle Code. Further, if one or more citations remain un-cleared, vehicles are subject to removal from service by the California Highway Patrol, as requested by the Air Resources Board (per 13 CCR 2187).

LIGHT 8 WATER CONSENT CALENDAR TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD , pk FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES�` 0fn DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL BY MOSS, LEVY & HARTZHEIM, LLP, TO PROVIDE AUDITING SERVICES TO THE FINANCING AUTHORITY FOR RESOURCE EFFICIENCY OF CALIFORNIA (FARECa1). RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Utility Board approve proposal by Moss, Levy& Hartzheim in amount not-to-exceed $19,845 to provide auditing services to FARECa1 pursuant to agreement with FARECa1 that was approved by Utility Board on November 22, 2010. BACKGROUND The City of Azusa is a member of the Financing Authority for Resource Efficiency of California (FARECaI) which was formed on July 1, 1993, to issue debt on behalf of its members to finance utility infrastructure. In 2003, Azusa Light & Water issued debt through FARECa1 to refund the purchase of the Azusa Valley Water Company and construct the Kirkwall Substation. In order to help FARECa1 carry out its fiduciary responsibilities, the City of Azusa entered into an agreement with FARECa1,which was approved by the Utility Board in November 2010. The City of Azusa agreed to assist FARECa1 with the preparation of accounting records and financial reports to fulfill legal reporting requirements of the joint powers agency. In November 2010,the Utility Board also authorized staff to issue RFPs for accounting and auditing services on behalf of FARECa1. An RFP was issued for accounting services and Vasquez & Company LLP was selected to perform those services for FARECa1. At this time, the accounting work has been completed for FY 2005-06 through FY 2010-11,and the accounting records are now ready to be audited. 024 FARECal Auditing Services September 26, 2011 Page 2 Therefore, on August 25, 2011, staff issued an RFP for auditing services and received three proposals as summarized below: Firm Not to Exceed Amount 1. Moss, Levy& Hartzheim, LLP $19,845 2. Vicenti Lloyd & Stutzman, LLP $27,000 3. Nicholson & Olson $33,000 The proposals each provide for auditing services and preparation of biennial reports for FARECaI for FYs ending June 30th,2007,2009 and 2011,and each firm appears qualified to perform the scope of work outlined in our RFP. The proposal by Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, LLP, is discounted for a proposed completion date of February 15,2012. This timeframe appears acceptable to FARECa1 and will help save over$7,000. FISCAL IMPACT The approval of this proposal by the Utility Board is the first step in the approval process, as the auditing services proposal must also be approved by FARECa1. Following approval by the Utility Board and FARECa1, a budget amendment in the amount of $19,845 will be administratively processed to pay for the professional auditing services. Azusa will then seek reimbursement from FARECa1 for each member's fair share of the cost.

We have prepared our proposal to address each of the specifications included in the FARECaI's Request for Proposal. After 54 years in public accounting and 34 years of performing local governmental and non-profit audits, it is extremely gratifying to witness the continued growth of Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, LLP. The firm is a regional full service public accounting firm with offices in Beverly Hills, Culver City, and Santa Maria and clients throughout the State of California, as well as thirty-one other states. We and the entire staff are pleased with not only the continuing development of the firm but also the progress and economic health of our clients. We understand that governmental accounting is a specialized industry with its own accounting standards and requirements, and that is why we strive to constantly improve the quality of our professional services. This degree of dedication, coupled with our ability to inform our clients of any new accounting and auditing issues,is paramount to our success. We feel that our size is such that we are large enough to provide a broad spectrum of services and experience backed by an in-house training program, professional development courses, and an extensive professional library, yet not so large as to become impersonal and rigid. Our informal style allows us to be flexible enough to complete our engagements in a timely manner that is the most convenient for each client. Also, this style allows us to be more accessible to our clients when our clients have questions or concerns. It is our understanding that we will perform an audit of the FARECaI's basic financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America with the objective of expressing an opinion on the fair presentation of the basic financial statements, which will be in full compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements No. 34, 45, 54 and the GFOA's Blue Book. We will express an "in-relation-to" opinion on the combining and individual fund financial statements and supporting schedules based on the auditing procedures applied during the audit of the basic financial statements. In addition to the procedures deemed necessary to express our opinion on the basic financial statements, we understand that we will also be responsible for performing certain limited procedures involving the management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) and the required supplementary information (RSI) required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board,as mandated by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits would be conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards(1994 Revision), issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. It is our understanding that we will be responsible for issuing the following reports: an independent auditor's report on the fair presentation of FARECaI's basic financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; an independent auditor's report on internal control over financial reporting and on compliance and other matters based on an audit of FARECaI's basic financial statements performed in OFFICES:BEVERLY HILLS•CULVER CITY•SANTA MARIA MEMBER AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF C.P.A.'S•CALIFORNIA SOCIETY OF MUNICIPAL FINANCE OFFICERS•CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BUSINESS OFFICIAL 2 8 accordance with Government Auditing Standards; a letter of Communication to the Board of Directors, in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114;and a management letter. We also understand that we will be responsible for preparing, editing, typing, printing, and delivering the FARECaI's financial statements. We will provide the FARECaI with eighteen (18) copies of the financial statements plus one camera ready copy and a PDF file of the report. We will keep FARECaI informed of any state and national accounting and auditing policy developments, including new GASB pronouncements related to municipal utility finance and reporting that might directly affect FARECaI. All significant deficiencies found during the audit will be communicated in writing. In the required reports on compliance and internal controls,we shall communicate any significant deficiencies found during the audit. Significant deficiencies that are also material weaknesses will be identified as such in the reports. All irregularities and illegal acts or indications of illegal acts of which we become aware during the course of our audit will be immediately reported, in writing,to the FARECaI President,Board of Directors,and FARECal's Attorney. The not-to-exceed service fee for the audit to be completed by December 31a, 2011 is $9,990 per biennial audit, and the not-to-exceed service fee for the audit to be completed by February 15`h, 2012 is$6,615 per biennial audit. Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, LLP will perform the audit work within the specified time period, pending no unforeseen circumstances which the FARECaI imposes on our work.

Income Tax Services The firm provides tax services such as planning, preparation, and tax audits as well as negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities on behalf of our clients. Please see Appendix C—References for a list of recent governmental audits performed by the firm. It is the firm's policy to have our partners involved in the managing function of our governmental audits. Having both the partner and audit manager involved in the engagement allows FARECaI to receive immediate response to questions about accounting and audit topics,concerns, and findings. It is expected that Mr. Ron Levy would be the technical (concurring) partner in charge of the FARECaI audit. He will be responsible for reviewing FARECaI's basic financial statements and all other required statements and reports. He may also be responsible for addressing any FARECaI questions or concerns that arise during the year. He has assisted numerous special districts and joint powers authorities and has also prepared award- winning CAFRs. Mr. Craig Hartzheim will be the engagement partner and manager assigned to the audit. As engagement partner and manager, he will oversee the day-to-day operations of the audit, review all audit areas, and be on-site for a majority of the fieldwork. He has assisted many special districts and joint powers authorities and has prepared numerous award-winning CAFRs. Mr. Edward Eisenhauer and Mr. Wilson Lam will be the senior auditors assigned to the audit. As senior auditors, it will be their responsibilities to oversee the staff accountants, do preliminary reviews of audit sections,and perform more difficult audit sections.

Consistently working together will provide FARECa!with a knowledgeable,proficient, and efficient audit team. 5 034 FINANCING AUTHORITY FOR RESOURCE EFFICIENCY OF CALIFORNIA TECHNICAL PROPOSAL COMPANY AND STAFF/QUALIFICATIONS/LICENSE/DESK REVIEWS (CONTINUED) QUALIFICATIONS (CONTINUED) The firm conducts an annual firm-wide two-day training seminar to update all governmental auditors on new pronouncements and improved audit techniques. In addition to this firm sponsored seminar, each governmental auditor attends the annual governmental accounting conference and many other continuing education courses and is updated on current accounting/auditing issues through our journals and supplements, which we receive on a regular basis. Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, LLP is an equal opportunity employer who employs people of many different ethnic backgrounds. We staff our audits according to qualifications of personnel and the needs of our clients. Please see Appendix D— Organization Chart for the hierarchy of all personnel to be assigned to perform the audit work required by this RFP. Please see Appendix E—Segmentation and Budgeted Hours by Segment for a schedule of the level of staff and number of hours to be assigned to each segment of the engagement. The firm will maintain staff continuity on the engagement throughout planning, audit fieldwork, and report preparation, barring any terminations, illnesses, or other unforeseen circumstances (departure from the firm, promotion, or assignment to another office). At the written request of FARECaI,any Moss, Levy& Hartzheim, LLP employee assigned to the audit can be removed and replaced by another qualified employee. The Financing Authority for Resource Efficiency of California retains the right to approve or reject replacements. Our firm experiences relatively low turnover in employees as can be seen on individual resumes, so that even our staff auditors have more experience than most other firms can offer. The firm will not use FARECaI as a training ground for its employees. Please see Appendix F—Resumes for each individual's qualifications and experience. LICENSE Moss, Levy &Hartzheim, LLP is a properly licensed certified public accounting firm in the State of California. All certified public accountants engaged in the audit of the Financing Authority for Resource Efficiency of California are licensed to practice in the State of California and have received at least the minimum number of governmental continuing professional education hours required by the State Board of Accountancy and Government Auditing Standards to perform governmental audits. Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, LLP is independent of FARECaI and FARECaI's members as defined by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the U.S. General Accounting Office's Government Auditing Standards, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and all other authoritative bodies with standard or rule making authority over the auditing profession. Moss,Levy& Hartzheim, LLP has not entered into a professional relationship involving FARECAL or its members in the last five years. The firm uses checklists and questionnaires to determine that staff members are independent of each client being audited. We also have each staff member sign a personal independence declaration prior to commencing work on an audit client. The partner in charge of the audit reviews all independence work papers prior to staffing each audit. 6 035 FINANCING AUTHORITY FOR RESOURCE EFFICIENCY OF CALIFORNIA TECHNICAL PROPOSAL COMPANY AND STAFF/QUALIFICATIONS/LICENSE/DESK REVIEWS (CONTINUED) DESK REVIEWS Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, LLP has never been the object of any disciplinary action from any federal or state regulatory body or professional organization during the past three years. Our firm, or any employee of the firm, has never had a record of substandard audit work. WORK PLAN AND SCHEDULE If convenient for the FARECaI's staff,the approximate target dates for the FARECaI audit would be as follows: Option One: (1) Planning meeting and entrance conferences—October 10th (2) Entrance conference and fieldwork—Week of November 14th (3) Exit conference with the FARECaI and Members—November 18`h (4) Draft Audit Reports and Management Letter—No later than December 12th (5) Final Audit Reports—Within five business days of final corrections and no later than December 315t (6) Board Presentation—Open Option Two: (1) Planning meeting and entrance conferences—January 9th (2) Entrance conference and fieldwork—Week of January 16th (3) Exit conference with the FARECa1 and Members—January 2152 (4) Draft Audit Reports and Management Letter—No later than February 6th (5) Final Audit Reports—Within five business days of final corrections and no later than February 15th (6) Board Presentation—Open During the first year of the engagement, we will utilize the prior year's financial statements, the current year's budget, and our knowledge of the FARECa1's systems to determine materiality for the different audit sections. Each year, we will select a sample of transactions to determine to what extent the systems are functioning as described to us. The extent of our sample size will depend upon our assessment of the internal control structure and the results of our assessment in accordance with Auditing Standards. These standards require auditors to perform tests of controls and transactions based on a risk approach. The selection of transactions for testing will be made using a combination of random, systematic, and haphazard sampling techniques. We will identify the strength of the systems upon which we can rely in planning our substantive tests. Our internal control review will meet all the requirements of AICPA Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 55, Consideration of the Internal Control Structure in a Financial Statement Audit, as amended by SAS No. 78, SAS No. 99 Consideration of Fraud in a Financial Statement Audit, SAS No. 106, Audit Evidence, SAS No. 107, Audit Risk and Materiality in Conducting an Audit, SAS No. 108,Planning and Supervision, SAS No. 109, Understanding the Entity and Its Environment and Assessing the Risks of Material Misstatement, and SAS No. 110, Performing Audit Procedures in Response to Assessed Risks and Evaluating the Audit Evidence Obtained. 7 036 FINANCING AUTHORITY FOR RESOURCE EFFICIENCY OF CALIFORNIA TECHNICAL PROPOSAL WORK PLAN AND SCHEDULE (CONTINUED) It is estimated that the sampling size for transaction testing for compliance with systems as actually implemented would be as follows: I. Minimum of 30 disbursement items, including automatic and manual checks and bank debits II. Minimum of 5 payroll checks, including direct deposits III. Minimum of 30 receipt items In addition, all of our staff is equipped with networked notebook computers. These computers are equipped with not only word processing and spreadsheet capabilities, but various functional software, such as Adobe Acrobat, the Governmental Accounting Research System Program, the GFOA Blue Book, random sampling software, Lacerte Tax Program, Easy Accounting Software, which contains amortization programs and depreciation programs, and other applications as well. As part of our audit procedures, we usually request a working trial balance in excel format and access to view general ledger detail directly from the software system. We will also perform preliminary analytical review procedures using the prior year's audited statements and the current year's budget. In the preliminary stage, we will adopt ratio analysis procedures to compare the relationships between account balances and classes of transactions between prior periods and against budgets and industry statistics. This will help us to identify the source of individual fluctuations. This may include budgets,trail balance, and/or draft financial statements. Then, we will adopt trend analysis to compare current data with prior periods. This method is particularly useful for analyzing revenue and expenditures. Any unexpected trends or deviations will be discussed with relevant FARECaI staff to obtain explanations. We will also review the following documents in order to determine compliance with applicable laws and regulations: 1. Minutes of the governing body with special attention to: indications of new revenue sources, including federal and state grants; expenditure authorizations and related appropriations, including any special or restrictive provisions; appropriation transfers; authorization for bank or other debt incurred; awards to successful bidders; authorization for new leases entered into; changes in licenses, fines, or fees; authorization for fund balance designations or reservations in accordance with GASB Statement No. 54; and authorization for significant new employees hired. 2. New agreements and amendments to agreements including but not limited to: grant agreements; debt and lease agreements; labor agreements; joint venture agreements; disposition and development agreements; and other miscellaneous agreements. 3. Administrative Code 4. Investment Policy The main extent of our work would be what is required to enable us to express an opinion on the basic financial statements in accordance with: 1. AICPA Industry Audit Guide for State and Local Governmental Units 2. AICPA Audit Standards 3. Minimum Audit Requirements and Reporting Guidelines for California Special Districts 4. National Committee on Governmental Accounting, Auditing and Financial Reporting (Amended)Publication 5. Laws of the State of California 6. Requirements of Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Circular A-133,Audits of State, Local Governments and Nonprofit Organizations 7. GAO Standards for Audit of Governmental Organizations, Activities and Functions, the Guidelines for Financial and Compliance Audits of Federally Assisted Programs 8. Our firm's own additional standards and procedures 8 037 FINANCING AUTHORITY FOR RESOURCE EFFICIENCY OF CALIFORNIA TECHNICAL PROPOSAL WORK PLAN AND SCHEDULE (CONTINUED) The audit will be conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. The primary purpose of the audit is to express opinions on the basic financial statements,and such an audit is subject to the inherent risk that material errors or fraud may exist and not be detected by us. If conditions are discovered which lead to the belief that material errors, defalcations, or fraud may exist,or if any other circumstances are encountered that require extended services,we will promptly advise the FARECal. Our audit would begin when it is convenient for the FARECa1's staff. We estimate that in the second week of October(or second week or January for Option Two)we will perform fieldwork for the audit. Each year, the partner or manager of the firm will contact the FARECaI personnel. The purpose of this contact will be to discuss the scope and timing of the annual audit, to review any accounting issues known at that time, and to address any FARECaI personnel's concerns about the impending audit. We will schedule approximately one week of fieldwork. During the first year of the engagement, we will modify our narrative flow charts and other documentation of the internal control structure and of the major systems, such as revenue and cash receipts, purchasing and cash disbursements, payroll and personnel, inventory, property and equipment, grant compliance, investment activities, and the budget process. We will gain this information through discussions with appropriate FARECaI staff and the review of available documented policies, organizational charts, manuals, programs, and procedures. Once we obtain this information, we will evaluate the systems of internal controls and revise our standard governmental audit programs. In October (or January for Option Two), we will contact you to provide our detailed audit plan for the fieldwork. We will also discuss with you any matters that may impact our audit procedures or your financial reporting. The audit work will begin with an analytical review of all significant balance sheet and revenues and expense accounts for each fund, which includes a comparison of prior year's financial statements and current year's budget to the year-end trial balance. It is our firm's policy to perform substantive tests on all balance sheet accounts. Analytical procedures will be used to supplement the substantive tests, not supplant them. We will perform analytical procedures during interim and year-end fieldwork on all balance sheet and revenue and expense accounts. The primary objective of the year-end audit work is to audit the final numbers that will appear in the FARECaI's basic financial statements and report on compliance with laws, regulations, and grant agreements. Our fieldwork would also consist of procedures required under SAS No. 99, Consideration of Fraud in a Financial Statement Audit. We will perform procedures such as: (a) Confirmations by positive and negative circularization including but not limited to all cash and investment accounts; selected receivable and revenue balances; all bonds, loans,notes payable, and capital leases; all notes receivable; all insurance carriers; all legal firms employed on FARECaI business;and other miscellaneous confirmations deemed necessary (b) Physical verifications and observations (c) Analysis and review of evidential material (d) Interviews and investigative efforts (e) Electronic data processing testing for computer and software reliability (f) Numerous other procedures 9 038 FINANCING AUTHORITY FOR RESOURCE EFFICIENCY OF CALIFORNIA TECHNICAL PROPOSAL WORK PLAN AND SCHEDULE (CONTINUED) The year-end fieldwork should be completed no later than November 18th (or January 2151 for Option Two) for the audit. The Governmental Accounting, Auditing and Financial Reporting (GAAFR), issued by the Government Finance Officers Association(the"Blue Book")and other GFOA publications are often used as additional tools when preparing and reviewing the financial statements of our governmental clients. The finn has and uses its extensive library of current AICPA,GFOA,and GASB publications and pronouncements. As part of our audit engagements, we issue our clients management letters if we note certain observations or recommendations that we feel need to be disclosed. Our firm's philosophy regarding the management letter is that the management letter is to help management improve its internal control and accounting procedures and not to criticize the management in charge. This is why we present our management letters to management in draft form for open discussion prior to issuance. The workpapers for this engagement are the property of Moss, Levy & Hartzheim, LLP and constitute confidential information. However, we may be requested to make certain workpapers available to any California State Controller pursuant to authority given to it by law or regulation. If requested, access to such workpapers will be provided under the supervision of Moss,Levy&Hartzheim,LLP's personnel.Furthermore, upon request we may provide photocopies of selected workpapers to the California State Controller. The California State Controller may intend, or decide, to distribute the photocopies or information contained therein to others,including other governmental agencies. The workpapers and related audit reports for this engagement will be retained for a minimum of seven(7)years after the date the auditor's report is issued or for any additional period requested by the parties designated by the Federal or State government or by FARECa1 for audit. If we are aware that the auditee is contesting an audit finding, we will contact the auditee for guidance prior to destroying the workpapers. We do not anticipate any problems with the audit except for items listed in past management letters. In the event of a problem, the FARECaI President, Board of Directors, and FARECaI Attorney will be immediately notified in writing of any fraud, other illegal acts, or indications of illegal acts found during the course of our audit work. All other discrepancies or weaknesses in the internal control system that we become aware of will be communicated to management through discussion and the management recommendation letter.

CHT & A'A11.1 AGENDA ITEM TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES col DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE EXECUTION OF A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE ASSIGNMENT OF SAN JUAN UNIT 3 ENTITLEMENT RIGHTS AND OWNERSHIP INTEREST TO THE UTAH ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPAL POWER SYSTEMS RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Azusa Utility Board authorize the Director of Utilities to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the layoff and sale of Azusa Light & Water's interest in the San Juan Project to the Utah Association of Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS). BACKGROUND As per Utility Board direction on September 27, 2010, one of Azusa Light & Water's strategic power supply objectives has been to seek a potential buyer for all or a part of AL&W's approximately 30 MW rights and obligations related to the San Juan Unit 3. AL&W's interests related to the San Juan project are obtained pursuant to the San Juan Unit 3 Project Power Sales Contract dated January 1, 1993 with the Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA). The City of Banning, also a SCPPA member, has expressed a similar strategic goal for its 20 MW portion of San Juan Unit 3. The Utah Association of Municipal Power Systems presently has an ownership interest in San Juan Unit 4 and desires to obtain additional "baseload" power supplies for a subset of its members with needs for such a power resource in their portfolio. UAMPS was established in 1980 under the Utah Interlocal Cooperation Act, and is a political subdivision of the State of Utah. UAMPS' purposes include the planning, financing, development, acquisition, construction, operation and maintenance of various projects for the generation, supply, transmission and management of electric energy for the benefit of its 51 Members across 8 states. UAMPS presently has involvement in 15 different power supply projects. 061. San Juan MOU September 26, 2011 Page 2 The first step toward consummating definitive, binding contract arrangements with UAMPS related to the sale of San Juan is the negotiation and execution of a Memorandum of Understanding. The MOU provides a roadmap for the development of a final, definitive agreement between the parties. Key terms of the Azusa/Banning/UAMPS Memorandum of Understanding are as follows: • UAMPS will acquire the entirety of Azusa's and Banning's 50 MW rights in San Juan with the final level subject to confirmation of subscription interest by UAMPS members. • The transaction will be in two phases. o The first phase is for the "layoff' of San Juan capacity and energy to UAMPS with a projected start date of not later than July 1, 2012. UAMPS would pay all costs related to the seller's interest in San Juan during Phase 1. o The second phase would involve the permanent transfer of ownership rights to UAMPS. This phase cannot occur when Azusa/Banning has debt service related to outstanding bonds. As such, the timing of Phase 2 could be as early as January 1, 2015 or as late as March 1, 2020. • UAMPS would be responsible for all EPA required expenditures on selective catalytic reduction (SCR) equipment on and after January 1, 2012. • Azusa/Banning would transfer their share of San Juan related transmission delivery rights to UAMPS, but initiation of the Phase 1 is contingent on UAMPS obtaining needed transmission services for deliveries to its members. • San Juan related reserve funds contributed by Azusa would be returned to Azusa as more fully provided in the final agreement. UAMPS and Azusa/Banning will strive to consummate definitive/final/binding agreements by March 1, 2012. The cities are utilizing member service agreements available from SCPPA for legal services on the proposed transaction. Lead counsel for contract development will be Fulbright &Jaworski who is SCPPA's bond counsel and who has been involved in SCPPA's San Juan Unit 3 arrangement from day one. In addition to BB&K, an attorney with broad industry power supply background from Cooper & Bruning LLP will provide assistance. A copy of the proposed Azusa/Banning/UAMPS Memorandum of Understanding is attached. Any minor modifications that may be needed prior to execution will be reviewed and approved by legal counsel. (A copy of the September 27, 2010 Utility Board report on San Juan is also attached as additional background.) FISCAL IMPACT The legal costs related to the proposed San Juan transaction may be significant ($100+K). Such costs are being shared on pro rata basis with Banning based on San Juan ownership shares (60% Azusa and 40% Banning). Legal costs are billed by SCPPA to the cities as a project expense. Prepared by: George F. Morrow, Director of Utilities 062 DRAFT 9/15/11 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING ACQUISITION OF RIGHTS IN SAN JUAN 3 BACKGROUND Southern California Public Power Authority("SCPPA") owns a 41.8% undivided interest in Unit 3 of the San Juan Generating Station ("SJ3"), a 20.9% undivided interest in the facilities common to San Juan Units 3 and 4, and a 12.71% interest in the facilities common to all four units at the San Juan Generating Station("SCPPA's SJ3 Ownership Interest"). SCPPA's SJ3 Ownership Interest is held pursuant to the Amended and Restated San Juan Project Participation Agreement, dated March 23, 2006 (the "Participation Agreement") among the several owners of interests in the San Juan Generating Station (the "SJ Participants"). SCPPA's SJ3 Ownership Interest represents approximately 208 MW of capacity. SCPPA has sold all of the capacity and energy from SCPPA's SJ3 Ownership Interest to several of its members under the San Juan Unit 3 Project Power Sales Contracts, dated as of January 1, 1993 (the "Power Sales Contracts"). Under the Power Sales Contracts,Azusa and Banning have Purchaser Shares equal to 14.707% and 9.8047%, respectively, of the capacity and energy of SCPPA's SJ3 Ownership Interest and the corresponding obligation to pay for, on a take-or-pay basis, a corresponding percentage of all costs of SCPPA's SJ3 Ownership Interest ("SJ3 Entitlement Rights"). The SJ3 Entitlement Rights of Azusa and Banning represent approximately 30.5 MW and 20.3 MW of capacity, respectively of the capacity of SJ3 which in turn represents a 10.2452% undivided interest in SJ3, a 5.1226% undivided interest in the facilities common to San Juan Units 3 and 4, and a 3.1152% interest in the facilities common to all four units at the San Juan Generating Station (the "Transferred Ownership Interest"). SCPPA has outstanding bonds that financed SCPPA's SB Ownership Interest; the San Juan Power Project Revenue Bonds, 2002 Refunding Series A, which have a final maturity on January 1, 2014, and San Juan Power Project Revenue Bonds, 2005 Refunding Series A, which have a final maturity on January 1, 2020 (collectively, the "Bonds"). The 2005 Refunding Series A Bonds are subject to optional redemption by SCPPA at par (plus accrued interest) on January 1, 2015. SCPPA, Azusa and Banning have each agreed that they will not take any action that will adversely affect the tax exempt status of interest on the Bonds. INTENT OF PARTIES Azusa and Banning ("Cities") desire to assign and sell, and Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems ("UAMPS") desires to accept and purchase, SJ3 Entitlement Rights in accordance with the terms set forth below ("Terms"), subject to the development of definitive agreements consistent with the Terms. 063 TERMS 1. Transaction will be completed in two steps or phases. Phase 1 (contemplated to be implemented by not later than July 1, 2012) would include assignment to and the assumption by UAMPS of all of the Cities' SJ3 Entitlement Rights under the Power Sales Contracts. Phase 2, contemplated to be completed as early as January 1, 2015 but no later than March 1, 2020 (i.e., promptly following the redemption, retirement or defeasance date of all of the Bonds and the transfer by SCPPA of the appropriate amount of SCPPA's SJ3 Ownership Interest to the Cities), would entail the sale of the Transferred Ownership Interest to UAMPS, and the assumption by UAMPS of obligations and liabilities relating to the Transferred Ownership Interest under the terms of the Participation Agreement. 2. Following the assignment to UAMPS of the Cities' SJ3 Entitlement Rights under the Power Sales Contracts, the Cities will consult with UAMPS and would take all practicable actions, to the extent possible under existing agreements, to effectuate the directions of UAMPS with respect to SJ3 Entitlement Rights. 3. Following the assignment to UAMPS of the Cities' SJ3 Entitlement Rights, all SCPPA charges relating to Cities' SJ3 Entitlement Rights (no markup or adders by Cities) will be paid by UAMPS until transfer of the Transferred Ownership Interest to DAMPS. 4. Costs, if any, related to the addition of selective catalytic reduction and associated systems and facilities ("SCR") to SJ3 that are paid by the Cities prior to January 1, 2012, shall be the responsibility of the Cities. Costs, if any,related to SCR additions to SJ3 that are paid by the Cities on or after January 1, 2012, shall be refunded to the Cities by UAMPS at the time of (and contingent upon) the implementation of Phase 1, and all SCR related costs shall be paid by UAMPS thereafter. 5. The assignment of SJ3 Entitlement Rights and the sale of the Transferred Ownership Interest are each on an "as is"basis—no representations or warranties regarding SJ3 by the Cities. 6. As part of the SJ3 Entitlement Rights, Cities will transfer to UAMPS the right to accept delivery of San Juan Unit 3 energy at points of delivery available to Cities from time to time pursuant to the Amended and Restated Interconnection Agreement between Tucson Electric Power Company and Century Power Corporation (as assigned to SCPPA). Presently, those points include the Westwing 500KV Switchyard, the PVNGS 500 KV Switchyard, the Four Corners 345 KV Switchyard and the San Juan 345 KV Switchyard. 7. The assignment of the SJ3 Entitlement Rights and sale of the Transferred Ownership Interest shall not result in "private business use" or otherwise adversely affect the tax exempt status of interest on the Bonds under laws and regulations applicable to tax exempt indebtedness, as concluded by SCPPA's bond counsel. • 8. The Cities and UAMPS agree to take all commercially reasonable steps to execute definitive documents to effectuate the assignment of SJ3 Entitlement Rights and the sale of the Transferred Ownership Interest consistent with these Terms no later than March 1, 2012. -2- 064 9. UAMPS' obligation to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Memorandum of Understanding is contingent upon (a) the execution of long-term, take-or-pay power sales contracts between UAMPS and participating member municipal utilities providing for the purchase and sale of all of the capacity and energy from the SJ3 Entitlement Rights and the Transferred Ownership Interest, and (b) UAMPS obtaining sufficient transmission rights to deliver the capacity and energy related to SJ3 Entitlement Rights to UAMPS loads. UAMPS shall make necessary third party application(s) for transmission service as early as possible but not later than October 31, 2011. 10. The Cities agree not to market their SJ3 Entitlement Rights to any third parties and UAMPS agrees not to pursue acquisition of other power resources in lieu of this transaction for the UAMPS members identified in the UAMPS Fiscal 2012 Operating Budget Resource San Juan Unit 3 Coal Study. 11. The Parties will continue discussions related to the possible acquisition of up to 10 MW of power by Azusa and Banning from UAMPS' Horse Butte Wind Project. 12. The proposed business arrangements hereunder are contingent upon a San Juan 3 configuration as it exists on the date of this Memorandum of Understanding. If a fundamental change occurs in the configuration of San Juan 3, any party can call a meeting of the other parties to discuss whether this Memorandum of Understanding needs to be modified to accommodate such a change. 13. To reduce credit risk to UAMPS during Phase 1, the Cities will hold UAMPS harmless, to the extent permitted by law, with respect to any costs or liabilities arising from or with respect to a payment default by other SCPPA members under the Power Sales Contract. 14. To reduce credit risk to the Cities during Phase 1, UAMPS will post collateral (with a collateral agent mutually agreeable to the parties) in an amount equal to the estimated aggregate payments for the time period UAMPS will be granted to cure any failure to make payments before the Cities will have the right to reclaim the SJ3 Entitlement Rights assigned to UAMPS. Any collateral so posted will be returned to UAMPS upon the completion of Phase 2. 15. There are a number of San Juan related reserve funds held by SCPPA for the benefit of the Cities. The portion of these reserve funds paid by the Cities as contributions shall be returned to the Cities in their entirety. The portion of the reserve funds funded by Bond proceeds shall be shared between the Cities and UAMPs on a basis reflecting the proportionate level of Bond principal paid by each party for that particular reserve fund. As to timing, an amount equal to the Cities' share of funds in the Operating Fund and the Reserve & Contingency Fund at the beginning of Phase 1, shall be paid by UAMPS to the Cities within 60 days of the start of Phase 1. Thereafter, the funds in these accounts shall inure to the benefit of UAMPS. Similarly an amount equal to the Cities' share of the Debt Service and Debt Service Reserve Accounts shall be paid to the Cities by UAMPS concurrent with the start of Phase 2 or such earlier date that such funds become available for a particular Bond issue. To the extent other SJ3 reserve funds exist, the parties will review and address the appropriate treatment of these funds in the definitive agreements referenced in the last paragraph hereunder. -3- . 065 16. Under the Participation Agreement, any agreement reached by UAMPS and the Cities regarding the sale of the Transferred Ownership Interest may be subject to the consent of, or a right of first refusal by, Public Service Company of New Mexico and other parties to the Participation Agreement. UAMPS and the Cities shall cooperate with one another to obtain any consents, waivers or approvals required under the Participation Agreement. 17. This Memorandum of Understanding shall remain in effect unless or until one of the parties provides written notice to the other parties stating the Memorandum of Understanding has been terminated and the reasons for such termination. Upon termination of this Memorandum of Understanding, all obligations of the parties shall cease, each party shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder and no party shall have any further liability or obligation to any other party. This Memorandum of Understanding represents the good-faith intentions of the parties hereto as to the key terms and conditions of the assignment of SJ3 Entitlement Rights and the sale of the Transferred Ownership Interest, and the good-faith commitments of the parties to expeditiously develop and execute definitive agreements consistent with the above Terms to complete this transaction.

MORROW,DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES // DATE: SEPTEMBER 27, 2010 SUBJECT: STRATEGIC DISCUSSION REGARDING AZUSA'S SAN JUAN RIGHTS RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Utility Board authorize the Director of Utilities to take the following actions: (a) seek potential buyers and engage in negotiations regarding the potential sale of all or a portion of Azusa's interest in San Juan Unit 3; and (b)retain legal support through the Southern California Public Power Authority to assist in preparing necessary transactional documents in an amount not to exceed $50,000. Any potential buyer or transaction would be subject to future consideration and approval by the Utility Board/City Council. BACKGROUND In 1993, Azusa procured 30 MW of power from San Juan Unit 3 (San Juan) for the remaining life of the project. Azusa's rights are obtained via a Power Purchase Agreement executed with Southern California Public Power Authority who issued bonds to purchase interest in San Juan from Century Power Corporation. San Juan is a "mine mouth" coal-fired unit which became operational in 1976. It is operated and maintained by Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM). Participants include PNM (50%), SCPPA (41.8%) and Tri-State G&T Association(8.2%). Presently, San Juan provides enough energy to serve about 83% of Azusa's retail load. The projected average cost for San Juan energy in FY11 is $56/MWI-I, The average price was $72/MWH in FY10 due to a prolonged maintenance outage. Estimated price going forward for San Juan is about$60/MWH. Staff has been reviewing the appropriateness of continuing its involvement in San Juan at the present level. Key considerations are as follows: -!IA) n67 San Juan Unit 3 Strategic Discussion September 27,2010 Page 2 • Azusa is currently resourced at 120% of its retail load. All resource commitments are take and pay with no ability to modify schedules to conform with load and/or market conditions. • Prior to 2020 (with some intermediate steps), Azusa will need to add new renewable power commitments equal to about 15% of load in order to comply with renewable resource regulations in California. • To comply with AB 32 carbon reduction climate change mandates currently under development by the California Air Resources Board, the utility will need to dramatically reduce its carbon "footprint" by 2020 (with some intermediate steps). The addition of renewables (at a premium price) as noted above is expected to partially aide in meeting carbon reduction mandates but the need for more reductions is contemplated. • Over the past several years, the price of San Juan power has risen from the $40-50/MWH range to the$55 to 70/MWH range.The existing coal contract expires in 2017. • The San Juan owners are currently addressing a lawsuit filed by the Sierra Club alleging that the dumping of ash and sludge from the power generating station into unlined pits at the San Juan mine is polluting the groundwater and causing damage to human health, livestock and wildlife. The San Juan project manager denies the claims. • As a result of regional haze studies, the New Mexico Environmental Department is recommending that all units at San Juan install NOx controls called SCR — Selective Catalytic Reduction. The project manager of the plant estimates the cost of SCR to be $700 million to $1 billion. SCPPA's share would be $90- $125 million with Azusa's obligation being 14.71% of SCPPA's share or $13-18 million. This money would be spent over 5 years thus increasing Azusa's project cost by—$3 million per year or about$15MWH. • The potential for having to make similar environmental improvements at the adjacent coal- fired Four Corners Units 4 and 5 has precipitated an announcement by the participants in these units that they will likely retire the units in 2015 rather than make new investments, Southern California Edison has a large interest in these units. • Standard/prudent electric utility resource practice promotes diversity in resources. Typically, utilities have ensured that their "largest single hazard" is as small as possible, usually no more than 25% of its load mix. Azusa has significant exposure given that San Juan is over 70% of its resource mix and is made up of only one"shaft"or machine. • Azusa has limited ability to transmit San Juan energy risk-free to the southern California load center given recent changes in CAISO markets. The bulk of Azusa's San Juan energy is sold to other utilities east of California at spot market prices. Market prices over the past year or so have been in the$25-$45/MWH range—well under the cost of energy from San Juan. • The current short to mid term bulk power market is the softest anyone has seen in quite some time. If Azusa were to need to replace San Juan energy in the near term, there is a high probability it could do so at a cost savings. . 068 San Juan Unit 3 Strategic Discussion September 27,2010 Page 3 • Azusa is participating in the Lodi Energy Center. Its entitlement is 7.8 MW or about 55 GWH per year. This has the capability to provide about 20% of Azusa's load requirements and replace about a quarter of Azusa's share of San Juan. • California entities with coal participation (most southern California public power agencies plus Modesto, Santa, Clara and Redding in the north) are seeking buyers for their coal entitlements including the City of Los Angeles which has interests in several coal projects. LADWP's current policy is to divest itself of all coal by 2020. • The bonds issued by SCPPA to purchase an interest in San Juan will be paid off in 2020 — this will reduce San Juan costs by about $12/MWH after that point. The present SCPPA- Azusa Power Sales Agreement expires in 2030. In conclusion, staff feels that it may be in the best long-term interest of the Azusa electric utility to seek buyers for all or a portion of its interest. The San Juan resource was attractive historically to the utility, but the changing landscape of the industry, additional operational costs and challenges while operating under the CAISO model, and environmental regulations support reconsideration. FISCAL IMPACT Legal services through SCPPA to assist with documentation will not exceed $50,000 without further authorization by the Utility Board. Prepared by: George F.Morrow,Director of Utilities 069 FRP 3, AZUSA EIGXT d WATER AGENDA ITEM TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY BOARD FROM: GEORGE F. MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES (.--se 6111 DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT PROPOSALS FOR FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO EVALUATE AND FACILITATE REFUNDING OF LONG TERM DEBT FOR WATER UTILITY RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Utility Board approve request for proposals (RFP) scope of work and authorize staff to issue RFP to solicit proposals from Financial Advisors to consider options to refinance long term debt of water utility related to purchase of Azusa Valley Water Company. BACKGROUND In 1993, the City of Azusa purchased the Azusa Valley Water Company by issuing$24,075,000 in revenue bonds. In 2003, Azusa Light & Water refinanced the 1993 debt by issuing certificates of participation(COP)in the amount of$20,370,000. Payoff of the Series A 2003 COP is scheduled to occur in 2023. However, recent bond market trends indicate that there may be an opportunity to lower our interest expense over the next 10 years by refinancing. See attached Municipal Market Data Charts for 10 and 30 year yields for both 'AAA' and 'AA' rated issues, and note that we may refinance using the shorter term. Currently, there is about $11 million of outstanding debt associated with the Series A 2003 COP. The annual debt service of the Series A COP is about$1.255 million per year,based on an estimated average yield of 4.78%. It appears that the City may be able to refinance the outstanding debt at a lower coupon rate, possibly around 4.1%. If the water utility is able to refinance its debt at a lower rate, and utilize the shorter term, it may be possible to save$60,000 to $70,000 per year on interest expense. Staff believes that potential savings is worth exploring with the assistance of a Financial Advisor capable of analyzing and coordinating the refinancing. 074 • RFP for Financial Advisor September 26,2011 Page 2 For the aforementioned reasons, it is recommended that the Utility Board approve of the following scope of work for a Financial Advisor and authorize staff to issue a request for proposals: Draft Scope of Work For Financial Advisor 1. Conduct analysis of Azusa Light & Water's long term debt with regard to Series A — Certificates of Participation issued in 2003 and determine if refinancing would provide sufficient savings to the Utility to justify refinancing. 2. Identify all parties necessary to implement refinancing,i.e.,bond counsel,disclosure counsel, technical consultants,underwriter,issuer,credit rating agencies,and prepare a schedule and detailed description of the responsibilities of each team member and update this schedule, with refinements, as necessary, as the work progresses. 3. Develop and implement successful financing strategy and timetable for the debt issue relating to the refinancing; coordinate, and assist where appropriate, in the preparation of the legal and disclosure documents; monitor the progress of all activities leading to the sale of debt. 4. At the City's request, the Financial Advisor may assist the City in the selection of bond counsel,disclosure counsel,underwriter(s),technical consultant(s),bond insurer,trustee,and other applicable professional service providers pertinent to this financing. 5. Assist bond counsel and/or other legal advisors in the drafting of the respective financing resolutions, notices and other legal documents; monitor document preparation for a consistent and accurate presentation of the recommended business terms and financing structure of the debt issue,with understanding,however,that the services shall in no manner be construed as the Financial Advisor engaging in the practice of law. 6. Work with the underwriters and City's staff to design a financing structure for the debt issue relating to debt refinancing that is consistent with the City's objectives,that coordinates the transaction with outstanding issues and that reflects current conditions in the capital markets. 7. Develop a plan for presenting the financing program to the rating agencies and the investor community and assist the City in coordinating the presentation activities with the rating agencies to obtain the most favorable credit rating possible prior to the sale of debt issuance. The Financial Advisor shall consider the implications of existing debt and existing repayment covenants as they may relate to this refinancing and credit ratings. 8. Provide regular summaries of current municipal market conditions,trends in the market and how these may favorably or unfavorably affect the City's proposed refinancing. 9. Advise the City in the sale of bonds, including an option to conduct a competitive sale through a Notice of Sale Inviting Bids; coordinate with the underwriters(s) to execute the most cost effective financing structure; provide different bond sales options to City to demonstrate viability of options. 10. Based upon activities outlined above, recommend to accept or reject offers to purchase the debt issue; Financial Advisor shall not recommend acceptance of an offer from an affiliated underwriting firm in which they have a financial interest; if the City elects to award the debt issue,the Financial Advisor will instruct all parties and help facilitate the actions required to formally consummate the award. 075 RFP for Financial Advisor September 26,2011 Page 3 11. Assist in arranging for the closing of financing;assist counsel in assuming responsibility for such arrangements as they are required,including arranging for or monitoring the progress of bond printing, qualification of issues for book-entry status, signing and final delivery of the securities; settlement of the costs of issuance; and documents delivery to trustee. FISCAL IMPACT If the City were to issue debt, it is likely the Financial Advisor cost would be about $40,000 to $50,000. Other costs of refinancing include underwriter's discount and attorney fees. Total transaction cost of refinancing would probably be around$250,000 and most of these costs would be paid for out of the refinancing. After factoring in these costs,savings from refinancing may be about 5% of remaining debt service obligation, or about $600,000 to $700,000.

MORROW, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES p 6 DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 SUBJECT: FOURTH QUARTER BUDGET REPORT FOR WATER AND ELECTRIC FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2010-11 Attached reports include unaudited budget information regarding the water and electric funds through June 30, 2011. Footnotes are provided to indicate data sources and adjustments. In general, the electric fund had a positive net cash flow for fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 of about $300,000. Retail sales of electricity for FY 2010-11 were lower than the prior 6 years. See below table for sales and billing trend for electric utility since FY 04-05: 4th Quarter Electric Sales/Billings FY kWh Sales Billings 04-05 251,265,870 $26,782,803.01 05-06 245,181,632 $27,355,549.89 06-07 255,560,858 $28,484,177.67 07-08 252,240,704 $29,809,429.15 08-09 253,116,501 $31,274,785.04 09-10 245,616,149 $30,099,991.50 10-11 238,728,205 $32,829,428.60 The power cost adjustment mechanism that went into effect July 1, 2010, increased revenues despite declining sales, and although the electric fund has not accomplished the reserve target of $12.6 million, progress was made given the positive cash flow and the reserve is estimated at $11.76 million for FY ending June 30, 2011. 01 9 Quarterly Financial Report September 26,2011 Page 2 Budgeting for electric utility expenses was tightly controlled and actual expenses for most line items were 97% of budget. The financial performance of electric fund has allowed it to exceed the minimum debt coverage requirement of 1.10 with estimated debt coverage of 5.64 for the period. See footnotes for more details. The sales trend for water utility is similar to the electric utility. Below table shows sales and billing trend for water utility since FY 04-05 through the end of FY 2010-11: 4th Quarter Water Sales/Billings FY CCF Sales Billings 04-05 9,044,164 $14,999,030.55 05-06 9,086,631 $14,302,731.65 06-07 9,971,443 $15,912,914.52 07-08 8,502,994 $15,641,966.31 08-09 8,333,649 $13,988,554.48 09-10 7,853,732 $15,303,212.62 10-11 7,384,003 $16,600,100.14 Water sales were 6% below the forecast for fiscal year 2010-11, and so retail revenues naturally came in lower than expected. Although the water utility cash flow for FY 2010-11 is slightly negative by about $121,000, the water utility exceeded its reserve target of $25 million due to water right leasing during the past two fiscal years, including $517,478 in revenue during FY 2010-11.
