PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Committee Member Kathy Tiegs/CVWD led those present in the Pledge of Allegiance. PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments.
(Committee Member Acquanetta Warren entered at 5:05 p.m.) Committee Member Terry Catlin/IEUA introduced IEUA’s newest Board member, and alternate on the Regional Policy Committee, Jasmin A. Hall.
1. TECHNICAL COMMITTEE REPORT Jim Hill/City of Chino reported that at the October 3, 2013 Regional Technical Committee meeting, the Montclair Lift Station Construction Contract Award item, which is on the Regional Policy Committee agenda tonight, was approved as long as bids submitted are not any higher than $3.3 million. He stated that the informational items received at the November 7, 2013 Regional Technical Committee meeting, are the same as those on the Regional Policy agenda tonight.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A. Minutes of June 6, 2013 Meeting
Motion: By Kathy Tiegs/CVWD and seconded by Jim Bowman/City of Ontario to approve the minutes of the June 6, 2013 Policy Committee meeting. Motion carried: Unanimously, with Earl Elrod/City of Chino abstaining.
3. ACTION ITEM
A. Montclair Lift Station Construction Contract Award Craig Parker/IEUA gave a presentation outlining that this construction award is for a 4 MGD sewage lift station that moves sewage from the Cities of Ontario, Montclair, and Upland. He stated that it is in currently in poor condition and the equipment and controls are now obsolete, considering all the changes in technology which have occurred since it was built in 1976. Mr. Parker explained another issue which is called “ragging” in the industry, which is the result of baby wipes and other such products that are not biodegradable becoming lodged in the pumps and screens. He stated that the current process for clearing the system includes two maintenance personnel and operations personnel going three times a week, doing a diversion of flow through the Montclair Diverter, breaking down the pumps, and physically “de-ragging” the pumps, but the new pumps will be able to push the “rags” through and pump them into a gravity main which goes to RP-1. Mr. Parker stated that the old system currently just goes on and off, but the new system will include variable frequency drives which are able to ramp up and down based on the flow coming in. He outlined the project schedule for this project: bids should be advertised by the end of November, bids should be submitted in December, the contract should be awarded sometime in January, and the project should take about a year to complete. He noted that, as an existing facility, the funding for this project will come from the RO fund, which is funded by EDU fees, and will not come from the RC fund,
IEUA/RSP –Policy Committee Meeting Minutes of November 7, 2013
3
which is funded by connection fees, as it would if it were a new facility. He also noted that the Pretreatment & Source Control group is working with each of the member agencies to educate the public about not flushing baby wipes, etc., and that the Orange County Sanitation District has sent out a public announcement in an attempt to make this industry-wide issue known to the public.
4. INFORMATION ITEMS
A. 4th Quarter Budget Variance Christina Valencia/IEUA gave a presentation reviewing the 4th quarter budget total revenues, expenses, and fund balances. She stated that the higher revenues are mainly due to a one-time receipt of RDA money received as a result of the dissolution of the RDAs back in February 2012, the higher number of new EDU connection fees than budgeted, and recycled water sales. Ms. Valencia reviewed non-operational and operational expenditures, the estimated ending fund balance, and the fund balance historical trend. She stated that the debt coverage ratio is improving and that the unfunded liability from PERS is currently not being recorded on the books, as the Agency is not required to do so until FY 2015/16, but the Agency is setting aside about $8 million between PERS and OPEB, which is currently on a pay-go basis.
B. Self-Regenerating Water Softener Local Ordinance Implementation
Rebecca Long/IEUA gave an oral update on the status of the ordinance adoption by member agencies. She stated that the Cities of Upland, Montclair, and Fontana have all adopted the ordinance, CVWD will adopt the ordinance within the next few months, and MVWD and the Cities of Chino, Chino Hills, and Ontario have not yet adopted the ordinance. Ms. Long mentioned that IEUA is in the process of marketing and publicizing the effects of using water softeners by working with local real estate agents, home developers, the “big box” stores, placing adds, and including information in constituents’ monthly water bills.
C. Tech/Policy Meeting Scheduling
Chris Berch reviewed some options for changing the current schedules the Technical and Policy Committee meetings. It was agreed upon that the Technical Committee will move to the last Thursday of the month at 4:00 p.m., and Policy will remain on the first Thursday of every month, but will move up to 4:30 p.m. from the currently scheduled time of 5:00 p.m.
5. RECEIVE AND FILE
A. Building Activity Report (YTD) The Building Activity Report (YTD) was received and filed by the Committee.

6. OTHER BUSINESS A. IEUA General Manager’s Update
P. Joseph Grindstaff/IEUA reported the following:
Business Goals – everyone’s participation and feedback is appreciated. The Business Goals were adopted by IEUA Board (as amended from Workshop) on 10/16/13, and are the basis for upcoming Mission, Vision, Values; and Strategic Planning effort.
Organizational Update – Four Manager positions have not been filled (Finance, Pretreatment & Source Control, Contracts & Procurement, and Safety) resulting in a consolidation of departments: Accounting and Finance; Pretreatment & Source Control and Compliance; Safety and Human Resources; and Risk and Contracts. There will be a new position soon, titled Executive of Engineering/Planning. Also, Sylvie Lee (Recycled Water) and Craig Proctor (Pretreatment & Source Control) are now in the Planning department.
Grant Update – A handout was passed out displaying a summary developed by Christina Valencia and Jason Gu, which shows ~$250M in grants and ~$150M in State Revolving Funds since 2000.
Operational Updates – Recycled Water had another outstanding delivery month (September 2013 = 86% recycled water utilization). Groundwater Recharge had best recycled water groundwater recharge month in history of program (1,400 AF in September even with competing peak demands).
Building Activity – Lower than planned by Agencies/IEUA to date. FY13/14 projected at 3,230 EDU, actual (through August) is 323, and planned to date is 600 (i.e. ~50% of target)
Energy Update – San Onofre is down and will stay that way. It produced ~2,200MW (equivalent power needed for 1.4M homes). Recap of meetings with Governor’s Office (Senior Advisor Rechtschaffen) from May 15, 2013 and November 20, 2013, stating that net energy metering and food waste were major topics, and there is another meeting scheduled with the Governor’s office in the next few weeks.
Upcoming Tech/Water Workshop (3rd Thursday) topics will include:
Integrated Water Resource Plan (including conservation)
Facilities Master Plan
Asset Management

EDU Audit – will start before negotiating the new regional sewerage contract. Beginning in December, the Internal Audit department will be auditing one member agency per month to complete this task.
Committee Member Terry Catlin/IEUA stated that he appreciates the support from member agencies in completing these EDU audits. B. Committee Member Requested Agenda Items for Next Meeting
None.
C. Committee Member Comments Committee Member Kathy Tiegs/CVWD thanked IEUA for its efficiencies and significant changes over the past 6 months. Committee Member Earl Elrod/City of Chino mentioned a meeting with Mr. Grindstaff and Mr. Berch in which he learned that IEUA’s solar panels are turned off when they produce more electricity than the Agency needs because SCE is not willing to pay the Agency for any electricity that IEUA would be able to put back into the grid. He stated that he found this interesting.
D. Next Meeting – February 7, 2014

ACTION ITEM
3A
Date: January 30/February 6, 2014
To: Regional Committees
From: Inland Empire Utilities Agency
Subject: Fiscal Year 2014 through 2024 Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Regional Committees approve and make recommendation to the
IEUA Board of Directors (Board) to approve the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2014/15-2023/24
Ten Year Capital Improvement Plan (TYCIP).
BACKGROUND
Each year, pursuant to the terms of the Regional Sewage Service Contract, the Inland Empire
Utilities Agency submits a ten-year forecast of capacity demands and capital projects or Ten-
Year Capital Improvement Plan (TYCIP) to the Regional Technical and Policy Committees. The
current TYCIP identifies projects for the FY 2014/15 through FY 2023/24 that are needed for the
rehabilitation, replacement, or expansion of the facilities owned or operated by the Agency.
In the past, the Budget and TYCIP have been written in tandem, with the TYCIP functioning as
the supporting, second volume of the budget. This year the timeline for the TYCIP has been
accelerated in an effort to streamline the project identification and prioritization phase of the
financial planning process. The financial planning and budget for FY 14/15 will be discussed in detail in the FY 14/15 Operating and Capital Program Budget which will be published in June, 2014.
A new feature of this TYCIP was the development of a project ranking system based on the
timing and criticality of projects. Drivers used to determine the timeframe and criticality during
which a project would be undertaken include the regulatory and permitting requirements,
wastewater flow projections, asset age, performance, efficiency, and grant or funding
availability.
Two major themes that have carried over from the FY 2013/14 TYCIP to the FY 2014/15 TYCIP
are the continuing need for maintenance, repair, and replacement of aging equipment and
facilities and the need for expansion of the Regional System to meet future growth. Maintaining
the Agency’s facilities and infrastructure is critical to ensure the long-term reliability and quality
of services that the Agency is committed to provide.

14.docx
A major project that has been carried over from the FY13/14 TYCIP is the expansion of the
RP-5 solids processing. Expansion of RP-5 liquids processing has been delayed due to projects
currently under consideration, such as local lift stations that could be operated as part of the
regional program. Flow forecasts and expansion options will be further explored in the
Wastewater Facilities Master Plan which is currently underway.
In addition to the Wastewater Facilities Master Plan, IEUA is in the midst of updating several
key planning documents, including the Long-Range Plan of Finance, Asset Management Plan,
Recycled Water Program Strategy, Recharge Master Plan, Water Use Efficiency Business Plan,
2015 Urban Water Management Plan, and EIR. It is anticipated that these planning efforts will
result in new priorities for the region and will be completed by fall 2014. Projects identified in
these documents will be further refined and included in next year’s TYCIP to meet the region’s
future needs.

In October 2013, the Board of Directors approved the IEUA Business Goals integrating the Agency-
wide policies and level of service to better communicate the Agency’s commitment to provide
reliable, affordable, and high quality service to our customers. These Business Goals set up the
framework for the Agency’s strategic long, intermediate and immediate term planning initiatives
currently underway, including; the Strategic Plan, Asset Management Master Plan, Ten Year Capital
Improvement Plan, Wastewater Facilities Master Plan, Recycled Water Program Strategy, Integrated
Resources Plan, Energy Plan, Long Range Plan of Finance, and the FY 2014/15 Budget.
Over the next several months, Agency management will be facilitating a series of budget workshops
for the Board of Directors (Board), as outlined in Appendix A. These workshops will provide the
Board an assessment of the Agency’s current financial position, an overview of foreseen major
challenges and opportunities, and proposed key strategies needed to meet the Agency’s Business
Goals, with an emphasis on Fiscal Responsibility. Additionally, through discussion and analysis of
multiple scenarios, these workshops are intended to facilitate consensus on financial policy decisions
to support the long term vision of the Agency.
The goal of the first workshop is to review management’s proposed long, intermediate and immediate
term goals, and obtain guidance from the Board on the proposed goals for the preparation of the FY
2014/15 budget and the ensuing four year forecasts.

Financial Position
Total fund reserve balances at the end of FY 2012/13 of $145 million was one of the highest levels in
the last 10 fiscal years, exclusive of debt proceeds, and reflected an increase of nearly $30 million
compared to FY 2011/12.
A combination of factors attributed to the recovery in total fund reserves; higher revenues primarily
due to an economic recovery throughout 2013, ongoing cost containment efforts, and continued
deferral of significant “noncritical” capital projects.
Sources of funds:
Connection fees: These fees are highly correlated to the economic environment, making it
the most volatile source of funds. For FY 2012/13 member agencies reported close to
3,000 new EDU connections, nearly twice the number of units reported in the prior fiscal
year. However, the beginning of the FY 2013/14 has seen a slow start with only 645 new
EDU connections reported through the end of November 2013. This rate of volatility
requires a more conservative and prudent approach when forecasting this source of
revenue.
Property taxes: The slow and steady recovery of the housing market and improvement
of assessed property values has stabilized property tax receipts and, to some degree,
facilitates our ability to better forecast future trends. The only uncertainty relates to the
ongoing distribution of “unobligated funds” as a result of the dissolution of the
Redevelopment Agencies (RDAs). In FY 2012/13 the Agency received an additional $10
million in property taxes related to the dissolution of RDAs. Although we anticipate these
types of distributions to continue as RDA Oversight Agencies wind down business affairs,
it is highly unlikely future distributions will be of a similar magnitude.
Regional Wastewater multiyear rates: FY 2012/13 was the first fiscal year for
implementation of multiyear rates adopted by the Board on February 2012, (Appendix B).
In addition to providing rate stability to our member agencies, as one of the primary
sources of funds, these multiyear rates have also helped to strengthen the Agency’s
financial position. Agency management supports the use of multiyear rates in the future
to achieve its goal of having rates that fully recover the program’s cost of service.
Recycled Water multiyear rates: Similar to the Regional Wastewater multiyear rates,
the Recycled Water Program implemented multiyear rates in FY2012/13 with the main
goal to achieve full cost of service rates and minimize its dependence on other Agency
programs.
Uses of funds:
Operating & Maintenance (O&M) Costs: Successful cost containment efforts over the
past several years have maintained overall operating expenses at the level of FY 2007/08,
while at the same time sustaining the Agency’s committed level of service.
Debt Service: After refinancing 1994 bonds in 2010, the only new debt incurred by the
Agency has been low interest State Revolving Fund (SRF) loans to support the expansion

of the Recycled Water Distribution System and replacement of the RP1 Dewatering
Facility. Future indebtedness will be associated with the priorities identified in the Ten
Year Capital Improvement Plan (TYCIP).
Capital Improvement Program (CIP): Primarily due to the economic recession, the
Agency’s Capital Improvement Program has been dramatically contained over the past 5
years, beginning with the deferral of over $200 million of major capital projects in 2008.
However, management recognize the continual need to invest in the maintenance, repair
and rehabilitation of existing equipment and facilities, as well as the need to stay ahead of
future growth through timely expansion of its Regional system. These themes are the basis
for multiple initiatives currently in process to revamp the Agency’s CIP.
Agency Business Goals
The Agency Business Goals, adopted by the Board in October 2013, will serve as the basis for the
Agency’s Strategic Plan and the departmental goals and objectives that will drive the FY 2014/15
Operating Budget. The six Agency Business Goals are comprised of: Fiscal Responsibility,
Workplace Environment, Business Practices, Water Reliability, Wastewater Management, and
Environmental Stewardship. For Fiscal Responsibility, the key objectives include:

INFORMATION ITEM
4B
Date: January 30/February 6, 2014
To: Regional Committees
From: Inland Empire Utilities Agency
Subject: Chino Basin Regional Service Contract Review
RECOMMENDATION
This is an informational item for the Regional Committees to receive and file.
BACKGROUND
The Chino Basin Regional Sewage Contract (Regional Contract or Contract) provides that Inland
Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) owns and operates the Regional Sewerage System and is obligated to
receive and treat all of the sewage delivered to its facilities by the seven member Regional Contract
Agencies (RCAs or member agencies). The term of the Regional Contract is 50 years and will expire
in 2023.
Pursuant to the Regional Contract, IEUA charges a fee to connect to the Regional Sewerage System.
A connection fee is defined as one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). Exhibit “J” of the Contract sets
forth the provisions for EDU computations. Per the Contract, the member agency is required to collect
and hold, on behalf of Inland Empire Utility Agency (IEUA), certain Capital Capacity Reimbursement
Payments “connection fees”.
On June 6, 2013, the Regional Policy Committee and on June 19, 2013, the IEUA Board of Directors
approved to amend Exhibit “J” as recommended by the Building Activity Reporting (BAR)
Subcommittee formed to standardize monthly reporting, create a centralized data depository,
implement GIS tracking of all BAR activity, and clarify language in Exhibit “J” to ensure consistent
application.
Continuing in this path to achieve consistency and equity amongst the member agencies and the
approaching expiration of the Contract in 2023, the IEUA Board has requested the Agency’s Internal
Audit Department conduct a comprehensive study to determine how the Contract is administered
within each member agency. The intent of the study is to gain a better understanding of how each of
the member agencies administer the Contract, including how EDU’s are forecasted, calculated,
recorded and reported. The audit period will cover July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013, and
where necessary the review period will be expanded.
The areas for review will encompass; evaluating processes to identify new building activity,
improvements, additions or changes to existing building, calculation and reporting of EDU’s for the
different types of customers, including:

Extra-Territorial Areas
The benefits to conducting this comprehensive study are to understand the various processes employed
to carry out, administer, and enforce the Contract by each of the seven member agencies. Additionally,
the Contract review will evaluate the different methodologies applied in administrating the contract
with the goal of gathering best practices and establishing uniformity in procedures. This
comprehensive study will also provide the Agency with information to better serve the member
agencies and more effectively address inquiries and concerns. Most importantly, results and
information gathered through this study, will provide facts and information so that all parties may work
together to define clear contract language in future contracts.
IEUA appreciates the member agencies and their staffs’ support and cooperation in assisting the
Agency’s Internal Audit staff through this process. Any questions can be submitted to the Manager of
Internal Audit.
Timeline
It is anticipated the review of each member agency will last approximately 6 to 8 weeks, with the goal
of completing the entire review by the Fall of 2014. The audit staff will begin with the Contract
Review of the City of Upland. Auditors have already initiated communication and will begin field
work in February.
An update on the progress of the Contract Review will be provided at subsequent meetings.

Date: January 30/February 6, 2014
To: Regional Committees
From: Inland Empire Utilities Agency
Subject: Status Report on Self-Regenerating Water Softener Regional Ordinance and
Rebate Program
RECOMMENDATION
This is an informational item for the Regional Committees to review.
BACKGROUND
In 2009, Governor Schwarzenegger signed the IEUA-sponsored AB 1366, which provides local
governments with expanded authority to regulate residential self-regenerating water softeners,
especially in areas of the state with identified salt problems (e.g., water bodies that are adversely
impacted by salinity and high use groundwater basins that are hydro-geologically vulnerable to salinity
pollution). The bill applies only to cities and local and regional agencies that own and operate a
community sewer or water recycling facility.
In January 2011, the Water Softener Task Force recommended that IEUA adopt an amendment to
Ordinance No. 87 to prohibit the future installation in homes of one type of water softener – the
self-regenerating salt-based devices (exchange tank services for water softeners are explicitly
permitted). The Task Force further recommended that IEUA adopt the regional ordinance
amendment first, and that the contracting agencies follow, adopting their individual ordinances at
their earliest convenience. This recommendation was unanimously approved by both the Technical
and Policy Committees in February 2011.
Consistent with AB 1366 (2009, Feuer) IEUA properly noticed and held a public hearing on June
15, 2011 to discuss amendments to IEUA Ordinance No. 87, to prohibit the future installation of
residential self-regenerating water softeners. IEUA received unanimous public support for the
ordinance. On July 20, 2011, the IEUA Board adopted the amendment to IEUA Ordinance No. 87
prohibiting the future installation of self-regenerating water softeners. Thirty days later on August
20, 2011, the ordinance took effect.

IEUA staff plan to promote the removal of self-regenerating water softeners in the region through
the marketing of the rebate program, which provides a rebate to residents up to $2,000 for the
removal of their self-regenerating water softeners. This will be accomplished through ads, bill
inserts and articles.
Additionally, staff will work with local realtors, developers and big box stores to educate them on
the use of traditional water softeners and promote alternative options for their customers. Following
is a list of tactics and strategies staff will use to implement this program:
IEUA will continue to advertise the rebate program through local newspapers, bill inserts,
city newsletters and articles.
IEUA will offer water softener displays and display boards addressing water softener facts
about the rebate program to contracting agencies for use in public spaces.
IEUA will work with big box retailers (Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc.) asking that they remove
self-regenerating water softeners from their shelves as part of implementing the regional
ordinance.
IEUA will work with local realtors and developers to promote public education about the
water softener ordinance and the availability of the rebate program.
As shown in the table below, currently four contracting cities/agencies have adopted a water softener
ordinance including the city of Upland, city of Montclair, City of Fontana and Monte Vista Water
District. Cucamonga Valley Water District is currently in the process of adopting the ordinance; the
ordinance is expected to be adopted in the spring of 2014. Three of IEUA’s contracting cities;
including City of Chino, City of Chino Hills and City of Ontario do not currently have ordinances
adopted.
