She presented the most recent modifications to AB 2712 (Daly) and General Counsel Joel Kuperberg advised the Committee on alternate language for clarifying the District’s position. Townsend Public Affairs representative Heather Dion stated that today’s Committee action was a matter of urgency if the District wanted to include new language into the next draft of the bill. Mr. Kuperberg reported that a Special Board meeting was agendized immediately following the Committee meeting so the Board could take an action based upon a Committee recommendation. He suggested striking out (d) on page 5 of the AB 2712 draft bill (lines 9-13), and inserting: (d) The district shall do all of the following prior to initiating an action or proceeding under subdivision (c). After a lengthy discussion, the Committee recommended approval of the language as stated by General Counsel.

Mr. Kuperberg reviewed SB 26 (Correa) and initiated the discussion on recent amendments. He noted the District initially took an “oppose” position on this bill, but recent amendments have significantly modified the bill and the District may want to reconsider that position at this time. Following a lengthy discussion, the Committee recommended the District adopt a “watch” position on SB 26 (Correa).

Mr. Kuperberg reviewed SB 1390 (Correa) and he initiated the discussion on recent amendments. Townsend Public Affairs representative Christopher Townsend advised the Committee that there are larger policy issues to consider and he recommended the District continue to watch the bill and not take a formal action at this time. Director Anthony reported that Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority recently adopted a “watch” position. Ms. Torres recommended the Committee continue watching SB 1390 at this time. The Committee then took the following actions. Upon motion by Director Green, seconded by Director Sarmiento and carried [5-0] the Committee recommended that the Board at its June 20 Special Board meeting: 1) Adopt the language as presented by General Counsel for amending section (d) of AB 2712 (Daly); and 2) Adopt a “watch” position on SB 26 (Correa).

RECOMMENDATION

Agendize for July 16 Board meeting: Take action as appropriate.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

AB 2712 (Daly)

AB 2712 (Daly) was heard in the Senate Judiciary committee on June 24. The committee approved the measure unanimously with a 7-0 vote. The bill will be heard in the Senate Appropriations committee where its fiscal impacts will be considered on August 4 or August 11.

As part of the Senate Judiciary hearing, Assemblyman Daly accepted the amendments to AB 2712 that had been proposed in the Senate Environmental Quality committee. The Assemblyman, his staff, the sponsors, and the District are all in agreement that the amendments that were put forth by the Senate Environmental committee do not reflect the understood intent of what the committee was trying to achieve. The Board approved substitute amendment language on Friday, June 20. That language was provided to Assemblyman Daly and his staff, however due to tight filing deadlines, it was not possible to have the District’s language reflected in the amendments that were taken in the Senate Judiciary Committee. As a result, TPA, OCWD staff, the Assemblyman’s office and advocates for the Orange County Business Council will work with the Senate Environmental Quality committee staff to discuss and address the amendments.

1 AB 2712 will need to be approved by the Senate Appropriations committee prior to August 15 and will then be referred to the Senate Floor. The measure will need to be approved on the Senate Floor, and once again on the Assembly Floor (since the bill was amended in the Senate), prior to the Legislature adjourning at midnight on August 31.

SB 1390 (Correa)

SB 1390 would establish the Santa Ana River Conservancy. The bill includes several findings regarding the lack of public recreation areas in parts of Orange County, the significance of the Santa Ana River watershed from an ecological perspective, and other declarations. OCWD sent a letter to the bill’s author addressing its concerns with the bill.

TPA is monitoring the bill closely and will keep the district apprised of any changes to the bill.

SB 26 (Correa)

The Board recently adopted a “watch “position on the bill. The District’s state advocates will provide an update on this legislation.

State Political Update

On June 20th, Governor Brown signed the 2014-15 fiscal year state budget. A few days prior, the Legislature had approved the $154.6 billion spending plan, which included $108 billion in expenditures from the state’s general fund, representing a general fund increase of $7 billion over last year. The Governor’s signed budget reflected a relatively small number of technical line item vetoes to this budget.

The final budget package represents a compromise proposal that was negotiated between legislative leaders (primarily the Speaker and Pro Tem) and the Governor’s Office. Ultimately, the budget relied on the Governor’s overall revenue numbers, which were approximately $2 billion less than the Legislature wanted, but, as a compromise, contains additional infrastructure spending that will be triggered if state revenues should exceed expectations.

The budget contained several high priority items for the Governor and members of the Legislature, including significant investment in preschool funding for needy families, additional funding for healthcare and human services programs, a spending plan for cap and trade funding that includes significant investment in high-speed rail, a plan to address unfunded liabilities in CalSTRS, and significant funding to help pay down debt.

Specific items contained in the budget package affecting water and natural resources, include:

 Approves a one-time appropriation of $18 million to address California's current drought emergency. The funding will be used for the Drought Emergency Operations Center, responding to critical water shortage and drought impacts and for the Save Our Water campaign. Of the funds allocated, $2 million shall be directed to assist local agencies with emergency water supply drought projects.

 Appropriates $5 million (Proposition 84 and 50) in multi-year funding, for continued water conservation activities, water recycling, water desalination, and water demand evaluation activities in support of the California Water Plan.

 Approves $13.8 million in multi-year funding to support the continued implementation of the Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring (CASGEM) Program and create the Online Well Completion Report Submission System to replace the current method of accepting only paper copies of well completion reports.

 Approves $2.5 million for the implementation of Action 6, Expand Water Storage Capacity and Improve Groundwater Management, in the January 2014 Governor’s Five-Year California Water Action Plan.

 Approves the transfer 291 positions and $202 million for the administration of the Drinking Water Program from the Department of Public Health to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB).

 Approves $4.2 million dollars to SWRCB to support ongoing staff resources for drought related activities.

 Approves $1.9 million and 10 positions for SWRCB to identify basins that are in danger of suffering permanent damage due to overdraft, which occurs when water withdrawals consistently exceed the water entering the basin.

 Approves $6.2 million and 14 positions for SWRCB to develop groundwater monitoring criteria and plans needed to implement SB 4 (Pavley), Chapter 313, Statutes of 2013, related to the regulation of hydraulic fracturing.

 Approves $500,000 (Waste Discharge Permit Fund penalty assessments) for use by the Greater Monterey County Regional Water Management Group to develop an integrated plan to address the drinking water and wastewater needs of the disadvantaged communities in the Salinas Valley.

 Appropriates $25 million in Cap and Trade funding, for FY 2014-15, for wetlands and watershed restoration purposes, as contained in the California Water Plan. This is in addition to $40 million in Cap and Trade funding that was provided for the same purpose in the emergency drought legislation approved earlier this year.

After the budget was signed, the Legislature was able to focus on the hundreds of pieces of Legislation that are still pending. The Legislature has been working to advance legislation prior to the June 27th deadline for policy committees to consider bills. Any bill that has not been approved by the second house policy committee by June 27th is ineligible to be considered for the remainder of the legislative session; this has resulted in a large number of bills being amended in order to gain approval from committees. After the policy committee deadline the Legislature will have a quick week of business before adjourning on July 3rd for summer recess. The Legislature will return from summer recess on August 4th and then have a quick sprint to finish the 2014-14 legislative session. The final day for the Legislature to pass bills in August 31st and recess will begin upon their adjournment.

Bay Delta Conservation Plan

To allow more time for review by members of the public and stakeholders, state and federal officials announced on May 30th, that they have extended the public comment period on the draft Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) as well as the environmental documents. The public comment period has been extended from June 13th to July 29th. Officials also announced the release of a draft agreement that would govern implementation on the BDCP. This document details the roles and responsibilities of the various agencies under BDCP. The draft implementing agreement provides expectations, assurances and protections as well as sets forth remedies and recourse should any party involved in the BDCP fail to perform its obligations. These parties include the California Department of Water Resources, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, certain contractors of the Central Valley Project and the State Water Project, the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Water Bond

Water bond discussions continue in Sacramento. There are a number of water bond measures alive in each House, but a few of the measures have stated to emerge as the most viable vehicle. Each measure proposes varying amounts of bond funding for storage, water conservation, local reliability projects and habitat restoration. The Legislature technically faces a June 26th deadline to place a bond on the November ballot; however, that date did not drive the Legislature to agreement as they have the ability to modify the date by which they can place a measure on the ballot. Currently, the Legislature is aiming to come to agreement on a water bond measure before they leave on summer recess.

On June 10th, SB 848 (Wolk) was amended to a $10.5 billion bond measure. Senate Pro Tem Steinberg has indicated that he would like SB 848 to be the Senate’s vehicle for a water bond. On June 23rd, the Senate took up SB 848 for a vote and the measure fell short of the votes needed for passage. The measure was unable to garner any support from Republican members of the Senate, though they did acknowledge that the measure was improving and with a few more modifications it could be something they support.

After the Senate voted on SB 848, Pro Tem Steinberg and Speaker Atkins met with the Governor to discuss the water bond. For the first time, the Governor provided some specific points regarding what he wanted to see in a water bond. While the Governor did not provide specific language, he indicated that he would like to see a water bond in the amount of $6 billion, which is $2 billion less than the cheapest water bond being considered in the Legislature. More specifically, the Governor indicated that he wanted to see a bond that allocated $1.5 billion for water quality and reliability, $1.5 billion for watershed protection, $2 billion for surface storage, $500 million for the Delta, and $500M for flood management. These funding levels are significantly lower than what most stakeholders anticipated and are unlikely to be supported by the Legislature. There is significant speculation that the proposal released by the Governor was meant to serve as his starting point for negotiations and that a bond will ultimately have a funding level higher than the Governor’s outline.

Attached to this report is a matrix that outlines each of the water bond measures that is being considered in the Legislature.

AGENDA ITEM SUBMITTAL

Subject: WATER BOND PRINCIPLES

SUMMARY

RECOMMENDATION

Agendize for July 16 Board meeting: Adopt the Water Resources Funding Policy Principles; and rescind 2006 Policy Guidance Document for Statewide Infrastructure/Resources Bonds (M06-13)

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

2014 Water Bond Update

In 2013, members of both houses of the Legislature engaged in efforts to reanalyze the existing water bond to eliminate unnecessary spending and more narrowly focus on California’s most pressing water needs in order to secure voter approval from an increasingly debt-averse electorate. The Safe, Clean, and Reliable Drinking Water Supply Act of 2010 is currently on the November 2014 ballot and is an $11.14 billion measure.

The following ten proposals were introduced to repeal and replace or amend the current bond:

 AB 1331 (Rendon) - $8 billion measure 1  AB 2554 (Rendon) - $8.5 billion measure  AB 1445 (Logue) - $4.8 billion specific surface water storage  AB 2686 (Perea) - unspecified amount  AB 2043 (Conway/Bigelow) - $7.93 billion measure  SB 848 (Wolk) - $6.825 billion measure  SB 927 (Cannella) - $9.2 billion measure  SB 1080 (Fuller) – spot measure  SB 1250 (Hueso) - $9.45 billion measure  SB 1370 (Galgiani) - $6.26 billion, storage only

Any amendments to the existing bond or a replacement of the existing bond will require a two-thirds vote. State law requires any changes to happen by June 26, however the Legislature can change state law and change that deadline.

TPA provided a presentation on the current and the ten proposed bond measures at the May 2014 Communications and Legislative Affairs Committee. Staff and TPA seek the Board’s adoption of water bond guiding principles to help them weigh in on positions currently being taken by fellow agencies and membership associations.

Staff and TPA recommend OCWD adopt the following guiding principles:

Orange County Water District Water Resources Funding Policy Principles

The Orange County Water District (the District) has managed the groundwater basin in north and central Orange County since 1933. It has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to provide infrastructure that helps to provide the region with a dependable and reliable water supply. Continued investment is required as challenges of managing the local water supply increase each year. The State Legislature has periodically introduced Bond measures that support water related infrastructure projects. In order to guide the District’s advocacy relating to water infrastructure funding, the following policy principles have been adopted by the District.

Any water resource bond or infrastructure funding measure adopted by the Legislature or put before California voters should be guided by the following principles:

1) Funding for any Delta restoration shall support the co-equal goals of water supply reliability and ecosystem restoration;

2) Support adequate funding to expand statewide and/or regional above ground and/or below ground water storage. Any proposed water bond shall provide funding for above ground surface storage and below ground groundwater storage to capture excess storm flows; No less than $250 million in a bond measure for storm water capture.

STATEWIDE INFRASTRUCTURE/RESOURCES BOND - POLICY GUIDELINES

MOTION NO. 06-13 ADOPTING POLICY GUIDANCE DOCUMENT FOR STATEWIDE INFRASTRUCTURE RESOURCES BONDS

The OCWD Policy Guidance Document for Statewide Infrastructure/Resources Bonds is hereby adopted.

OCWD Policy Guidance Document for Statewide Infrastructure/Resources Bonds

The likelihood of a statewide infrastructure/resources bond being on the June or November 2006 ballot is high;

The fiscal impacts of a proposed bond measure of this magnitude will shape resource and infrastructure funding in California for the next decade and beyond;

The Orange County Water District recognizes the critical need to invest in the water infrastructure of California for future generations;

The following are policy guidelines to assist OCWD staff in discussions on bond proposals with others in the water industry and to assist Board Members in formulating official policy and positions for OCWD.

1. As currently conceived the Orange County Water District opposes the California Water Resources Investment Fund for the following reasons. . The need has not been demonstrated. . Rather than a fee, it is a highly regressive water tax. . Lessens the ability of retail agencies to raise fees for their own projects. . There is no sunset provision. . There are significant questions about the legitimacy and cost of requiring retail agencies to collect a state imposed fee.

2. Bond funding should be distributed on an equitable basis between Northern and Southern California and priority should be given to projects that have a statewide water supply benefit.

3. Local control of resources should be maintained and the proposal should identify a clearly defined governance structure for bond implementation and management at both the state and regional levels.

4. The proposal should identify and include specific protections to safeguard bond revenue from being suspended and diverted to offset future state budget shortfalls or to fund the general administrative costs of state agencies.

5. The bond should clearly identify and document the specific needs of the state and specifically demonstrate how those needs will be addressed.

6. The District should only consider support for bond proposals that go through the legislative process, and will oppose those brought to a vote of the people through the signature-gathering process.

The Honorable Anthony Rendon The Honorable Ben Hueso California State Assembly California State Senate State Capitol Room 2136 State Capitol Room 2054 Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814

The Honorable Henry Perea The Honorable Fran Pavley California State Assembly California State Senate State Capitol Room 3120 State Capitol Room 4035 Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814

Dear Chairman Rendon, Chairwoman Pavley, Senator Hueso, and Assemblymember Perea:

On behalf of the California Association of Sanitation Agencies, WateReuse California, the Western Recycled Water Coalition and the undersigned water suppliers, thank you for your strong support for funding for recycled water programs in a water bond. This is an important recognition of the role water recycling plays in meeting the short term demands of the worsening drought and the critical role recycled water will play in the state’s long term water supply reliability.

As negotiations proceed on legislation to shape a new water bond for voter consideration in 2014, we jointly request that $1 billion be restored in a dedicated chapter for competitive grants for recycled water.

The water bond that was originally passed in 2009, and is currently on the November 2014 ballot, allocated $1 billion for recycled water programs (Chapter 11). Our request is consistent with the level of funding contained in the $11.14 billion bond, and reflects the importance of recycled water to the state for developing a reliable water supply. When the State Legislature moved last year to downsize the proposed bond, we supported the decision to scale back all elements of the bond including recycled water. Now, as the discussions return to the recognition that greater levels of funding are needed and will be supported by the public, we request that the $1 billion be restored.

As the current historic drought continues, the need to expand access to reliable water supplies grows. Recycled water is a drought‐proof water supply that does not rely on uncertain hydrologic conditions associated with climate change. It is a vital part of the State’s water supply portfolio, and water providers are aggressively working to expand recycled water in California. Last October, our associations surveyed water and wastewater agencies statewide and identified 65 agencies currently working to develop and design recycled water projects that will produce over 550,000 acre‐feet annually over the next ten years, and will cost an estimated $5.6 billion. To put this in perspective, this amount of recycled water is equivalent to the water demands of 1.1 million average families for one year.

State grants with required local match will enable local projects to move to construction—meaning that these additional acre feet of recycled water will only be brought into the system if there is a significant State investment partnership through the water bond. Further, the matching requirement of the grants ensures a high level of local commitment and leverages the State’s investment in this critical water resource.

Because recycled water is among the most sustainable, environmentally sound water resources available to the State, the inclusion of recycled water is critical to electorate support for the bond. A recent statewide survey of likely voters in the November 2014 election identified recycled water projects as the most popular program to include in a water bond. A total of 76 percent of likely voters favored recycled water projects. In fact, polling shows that 68 percent of likely voters believe that the drought is in part caused by a lack of recycled water programs.

A water bond must have a balanced approach to conserving, storing and producing water supplies. The ability to conserve one acre foot of drinking water for every acre foot of recycled water used is critical to California's ability to withstand the current and future droughts. Recycled water should be among the cornerstones of the State's water supply investments. For this reason we request that $1 billion be restored in a dedicated chapter for competitive grants for recycled water.

Again, thank you for your on‐going support of recycled water and your consideration of our request.

Sincerely,

October 2013 Recycled Water Projects National Survey, and February 2014 California Follow-up Survey: Summary of Findings for California Projects

General National Survey Responses for California:  65 organizations/agencies responded that they are developing recycled water projects (Figure 1).  553,875 Acre-feet/Year (AFY) over the next 10 years.

California Project Funding (See Table 1 for more info.):  Agencies on average seek ~50% of the total project cost o Prop. 84 IRWM offers 75% project grants  29 (or 45%) of California projects are “unlikely or definitely not” going to move forward without financial assistance. This represents ~226 TAF of yield.  $427 Million = Total Federal and State funding commitments received to date o Funding Sources: $368M SRF Loan; $34M Title XVI; $3.6M Other WaterSmart Grant; $2.7M Other Federal Grant; $18M Other State Grant. Figure 1. California Project Locations

California Follow-up Survey:  45 Agencies have recycled water projects that could move to construction in 1-3 years with attractive loan financing terms (i.e., 0 – 1% interest for 30 years). o Cumulative reported project yield = 196,753 AFY o Cumulative project financing = $1.13 billion

SUMMARY

Staff was requested to agendize for discussion the option of live streaming of OCWD Board meetings.

RECOMMENDATION

Take action as appropriate.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

Implementing a streaming system would require investigation of the different options that are available. Staff and the Board would need to determine the quality, speed, reliability and features desired in a system.

If the District chooses to move forward, there would be an initial capital and installation cost. Based upon a preliminary investigation by staff, this cost could range from $15,000 to $50,000 depending upon the type of system desired. Once installed, annual operation and maintenance costs could have a similar range in price.
