MINUTES of the REGULAR MEETING of the BOARD of DIRECTORS of SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

Tuesday, March 26, 2013, 2:00 P.M., Agency Board Room, 2310 Oro-Quincy Hwy., Oroville, California

DIRECTORS PRESENT: James Edwards, Dee Hunter, Lou Lodigiani, Dennis Moreland and

Steve Onken. STAFF PRESENT: Steve Wong, Finance Division Manager; Arthur Martinez, Manager of Information Systems; Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager; Kathryn Zancanella, Power Division Manager; Dustin Cooper, Legal Counsel; Michael Glaze, General Manager. OTHERS PRESENT: None. CALL TO ORDER President Lodigiani called the meeting to order at 2:00 p.m., and led the Pledge of Allegiance. APPROVAL OF MINUTES M/S/C (Moreland/Onken) approving the Minutes of the regular meeting of February 26,

2013. APPROVAL OF WARRANTS M/S/C (Edwards/Hunter) approving the total General Fund and Joint Facilities Operating

Fund expenditures for the month of February 2013 in the amount of $1,574,069.00; and, approving the total Power Division expenditures for the month of February 2013 in the amount of $20,176.24.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION – None. WATER DIVISION MANAGER’S REPORT The Board reviewed a written report from Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager. Operations Water Division staff have been accomplishing normal water system maintenance and operations tasks. Ongoing projects include domestic service installations including an increase in new backflow installations, and distribution system betterments, and leak repairs. Staffing Mr. Colwell congratulated Rob Wilcox, water treatment operator, for obtaining his T-4 certification, as well as Water Treatement Operator IV Jerry Gentry who has announced his retirement for May 30, 2013, and Maintenance Technician Tom Veurink, who has announced his retirement date of July 6, 2013. 2013 Vehicle Replacements The 2013 Agency budget included the procurement of three replacement vehicles. The requests for bids were distributed to nine dealers, with five bid packages received. Yuba City Toyota was awarded the midsize truck contract ($31,925), and Gridley Country Ford was awarded contracts for two full size Ford trucks ($25,141 each). Vehicles being replaced are a 1996 Ford Ranger (T-68), a 1997 GMC Sonoma (T-72), and a 1994 full-size GMC truck (T-177, former power division vehicle). State Health Inspection The 2013 Californian Department of Public Health Annual Inspection occurred on March 18, 2013 and included the inspection of a 14-page report on the operations and maintenance of the domestic water treatment and distribution system. After the report review, a field inspection of Miners Ranch Treatment Plant, distribution system conveyance, and storage facilities occurred.

The Agency has historically received favorable reports with no reported system deficiencies, and similar results are anticipated from the 2013 inspection. Water Use Efficiency Mr. Colwell provided a graph (below) showing continued improvements in domestic water use efficiency. The graph compares the past 21 years of annual average daily water consumption per customer account (approximately 700 gallons per day in 2012). The converging lines indicate that today more of the total amount of water diverted to the treatment plant (Plant) is making it to the customers’ meters (Billed), and less treatment process water and water lost to the system (leaks, flushing, meter error) is being used. In 2012, approximately 89% of the water diverted is billed to the customer, 4.8% of the water is used for treatment process needs such as filter backwashing, and 6% of the water diverted is lost in the distribution system (leaks, flushing, meter error).

MRTP Control System Upgrade Water treatment personnel have been working with Art Martinez, Manager of Information Systems, on evaluating MRTP automation control systems upgrade. Various components of the proposed upgrade are included in the 2013 budget. Management and staff have attended a couple of meetings and seminars evaluating Rockwell Automation products and control system solutions as part of the planned migration to a more stable and secure water treatment plant process control and automation system. Irrigation Operations The Agency irrigation system current releases are: Forbestown Ditch SF 14 = 0 cfs NYWD = 0 cfs WD 6 = 0 cfs Bangor Canal SF 25 = 8 cfs Palermo Canal = 2 cfs Water Treatment Operations Water demand at MRTP is near average (96%). Solar Plant Production MRTP power demand was greater than solar generation by 20,100 KWH during the month of January. FINANCE DIVISION MANAGER’S REPORT The Board reviewed a written report from Steve Wong, Finance Division Manager, including financial statements for the month ending February 2013, together with consumption and revenue data for all six distribution systems.

South Feather Relicensing Consulting Services No invoices have been submitted this month by HDR for relicensing consulting services. Total payments to HDR for relicensing services amount to $5,115,556 for services rendered through May 5, 2012. The budget balance remaining under this agreement is $35,206. CalPERS At the request of CalPERS, the Agency is cooperating with CalPERS to ensure that all dependents enrolled in a CalPERS health plan are eligible for coverage. A dependent eligibility verification process is scheduled for the period of July 2013 through December 2014. An amnesty process to disenroll ineligible dependents is currently in place through June 30, 2013. In recent years the Agency has required eligibility documentation of dependency status prior to setting up health insurance for dependents. Payroll Processing The Agency payroll is processed through ADP. This month ADP modified its programs consolidating the two modules SFWPA uses to prepare the payroll and the distribution of its labor costs. The consolidation has not been smooth as ADP has not provided SFWPA with the same input functionality that was in place prior to the modification. While payroll has been processed and the desired output for labor distribution has been received, SFWPA will continue to monitor and evaluate the new process. Agency staff is to be commended for their flexibility and patience during this modification. Investments As of February 28, 2013, the Agency’s funds were deposited as follows: LAIF 46% Money Market Funds 15% Certificates of Deposit 16% Fixed Income Portfolio 14% Cash 9% When considering the investment of Agency funds, safety and liquidity take first priority, followed by the rate of return. Directors reviewed the current investment policy (#470). Mr. Glaze advised the board that legal counsel Dustin Cooper had recommended some modifications to the policy to update it relative to current law, and that those proposed amendments will be agendized for board consideration at its meeting in April. Residual Property Tax from Redevelopment Agencies With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies in California, “residual” property tax revenues previously received by redevelopment agencies have been distributed to schools, cities, counties and special districts. For 2011-2012, “residual” funds from the Oroville Redevelopment Agency amounted to $2,774,438, of which SFWPA received $5,882. POWER DIVISION MANAGER’S REPORT The Board reviewed a written report from Kathy Zancanella, Power Division Manager, including precipitation to date, and water management, powerhouse operations and power revenue for February 2013. Based on the March 1 snow survey, PG&E’s forecasters currently do not expect either Little Grass Valley or Sly Creek reservoir to fill completely, and DWR’s Bulletin 120 estimates the South Fork Feather River runoff is 55% of average. The draft at Little Grass Valley was reduced to 11 cfs on March 8, and the spill gates will be closed at the end of the month. Employees Joe Gibson and Eddie Paul assisted DWR staff with a mid-month snow survey at Pilot Peak that indicated snow depth was 29.9 inches and water content was 13.7 inches. The recent warm temperatures produced a fair amount of snow melt, and prior to the most recent rain, Slate Creek Tunnel had flows of 165–210 cfs. Flows jumped to 600 cfs as a result of the rain.

Forbestown Powerhouse Annual Outage The annual maintenance outage on Forbestown began March 11 and was completed on March 22. Some of the tasks accomplished included transformer and relay tests, permanent magnetic generator flyball calibration, exciter brushes replacement, and cooling water pit cleaning. In the cooling water pit, the pressure regulator valve (PRV) drain valve bolts were found to be loose through deterioration and the drain valve was spraying water. New bolts were installed. The PRV will need to be rebuilt or replaced at some point in the future, as the bushings are wearing, allowing excess water to flow from the piston chamber. This job will need to be done in conjunction with replacing the runner liner plates, as they have significant leakage, making it challenging to pressurize the spiral case in order to open the turbine shutoff valve. NERC/WECC Activity As previously reported, the Agency received a Notice of Alleged Violation in December 2012 stemming from a self-report made to WECC in July 2012. The Agency requested that the matter go to settlement negotiations and those negotiations between WECC enforcement staff, Mr. Glaze and Mrs. Zancanella were conducted on March 12, 2013. The negotiations resulted in a reduction of the proposed $21,500 fine down to $7,000. The first phase of the NERC compliance Mock Audit was completed on March 13, 2013. Quanta Technology’s will issue a report by the end of April or early May on the results of its audit of evidence compliance prepared by staff. Lost Creek Dam 1997 Geomembrane Project Recognized by ICOLD In January, John Wilkes of Carpi USA Inc. forwarded the following from the International Commission on Large Dams: As you know, the 2013 International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) is holding its 2013 meeting in Seattle in August. The United States Society on Dams (USSD) is hosting the meeting. It has been 25 years since the United States hosted an ICOLD meeting. Part of the host country’s responsibilities for this meeting is creating a publication on dams in the United States. USSD has elected to produce two different publications for this meeting. These publications include the following:

· A technical reference publication on significant dam projects constructed in the United States since 1988. This publication, Achievements and Advancements in US Dam Engineering, will highlight approximately 60 dam projects in the United States. This new publication will provide a 25-year update of the landmark dams that have been constructed or modified since the 1988 publication and will provide an overview of the current state-of-the-practice in dam safety and dam engineering in the United States. This publication will be available in a searchable electronic format and will include linked references and an electronic copy of the 1988 publication “Development of Dam Engineering in the United States”.

· A pictorial display of approximately 115 dams in the United States. This publication, Dams of the United States, will be a hard-bound book that includes stunning photographs of US dams and pertinent facts and figures about these dams.

A special committee has canvassed the industry for projects to include in the Achievements and Advancements in US Dam Engineering publication. This committee reviewed over 150 projects for consideration. The committee would like to include the upstream liner modifications to Lost Creek Dam as one of the significant projects for inclusion in the publication. Subsequently, Mrs. Zancanella assisted staff from Carpi by providing the requested information about Lost Creek Dam and the performance of the geomembrane liner based on monitoring conducted since 2002. GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT The Board reviewed a written report from Michael Glaze, General Manager.

SFPP Casualty Memorial After the last board meeting, Mr. Glaze contacted the individual who coordinates/supervises interns in the Department of History at CSU Chico and explained the Board’s interest in memorializing the men who were killed while working on the South Feather Power Project. He asked him if researching the names of these individuals might be a project suitable for an intern or a senior project and was told “our best available students have either graduated this year, or will be graduating and leaving the area at the end of this spring semester.” He suggested that Butte County Historical Society be contacted. Subsequently, Mr. Glaze left a voice-mail message at the Butte County Historical Society’s phone number, and later received a response that his message had been forwarded to Stu Shaner. It was the Board’s general consensus that it wanted documentation before names were attached to a memorial, and directed that plans be made for a generic memorial, with names added later after qualified research could be accomplished. Grow Oroville Coalition Directors reviewed a draft Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Business Recruitment Branding and Marketing Program prepared by Mr. Glaze and reviewed by Coalition members on Friday, March 22. Coalition members on the 22nd also discussed how to formalize the relationship of its members, especially concerning cost sharing, governance, dispute resolution, addition/withdrawal of members, billing procedures, confidentiality and the term of any agreements. Unfortunately, given the current financial difficulties facing the City of Oroville (needing to cut $2 million from its budget), and the County’s lack of discretionary funds, neither of them are in a position to commit to funding the branding/marketing project at this time. Directors each expressed their respective opinions about the importance and the critical timing for this project, and its importance for growing the community’s economy. Mr. Glaze stated that, unless directed otherwise, he was going to release the RFP, and that the responses would be submitted to the Board at its meeting in June, with a recommendation to engage one of the proposers. He expressed the opinion that, if the project were to move forward, it would most likely be funded exclusively by the Agency. He asked for objections if that probability was a “deal breaker.” No objections were stated. Mr. Glaze expressed his appreciation for the Board’s willingness to support this exciting project, as well as its willingness to allow the Agency to lead the group and facilitate its administration. CAPPA Annual Meeting Directors were informed that they and their spouses were invited to attend the annual dinner meeting of the California Association of Power Producing Agencies (CAPPA) on May 8, 2013, in conjunction with the spring ACWA Conference. PG&E will be hosting the dinner for this meeting that will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Sacramento. “Water Subcommittee of the Historic District Neighborhood Watch of Oroville” Mr. Glaze reported that on March 18, he met with Celia Hirschman, Alan Young and Stephanie Tousley, who are the Water Subcommittee entitled above. The meeting was at their request and specifically so they could discuss “how we might possibly move our districts’ [water] service to your company [SFWPA].” In reality, their issue is the ever increasing California Water Service rates being charged to City of Oroville residents. He provided them with basic information about the process by which the City of Oroville could acquire CalWater’s system, as well as the likely expense of doing so. He said his message to them was twofold: SFWPA has no incentive other than community mindedness to assist in such and endeavor; and, the cost residents would have to bear to pay off the financing for a CalWater takeover by the City would not result in a reduction (and possibly even an increase) in their monthly water bills for at least 30 years. DIRECTORS’ REPORTS Dennis Moreland reported on a meeting he coordinated with Paradise Irrigation District regarding the feasibility of building a new reservoir and hydropower facilities near Sterling City.

KELLY RIDGE TSV REPLACEMENT ENGINEERING In January 2012 the Board approved Task Order No. 5 with HDR Engineering for Phase 2 of the Kelly Ridge Turbine Shutoff Valve (TSV) replacement, for an estimated cost of $117,265. The anticipated scope of the project included developing the valve specifications, support of the bidding process, designing the additional components to install the valve, field engineering during installation, and completing as-built record documentation. Directors reviewed proposed Change Order No. 1 which includes additional services by HDR that were not foreseen when the original scope of work (Task Order No. 5) was developed. As a result of issues that came up with the Forbestown TSV and Obermeyer spill gate purchases, staff considered it prudent to develop some Purchaser’s Terms and Conditions, and an HDR procurement specialist assisted in drafting those terms and conditions. The Kelly Ridge TSV had to be rebid when it was determined that the original round of bids did not result in a valve that would have met the design specifications, and this required additional engineering support. Finally, staff has recommended that an on-site inspector be present during the valve installation for quality control purposes, as Agency staff will be busy completing other outage tasks simultaneously with the valve installation. These additional services are estimated to add $51,028 to the cost of the project, bringing the total task order cost estimate to $168,293. This amount, when added to the amount estimated for Task Order No. 10, Kelly Ridge Generator Support, remains within the amount budgeted for engineering for the project in 2013. The valve has been built and left South Korea on March 21, with arrival in the US in early April. M/S/C (Hunter/Edwards) approving, and authorizing the General Manager to execute,

Change Order No. 1 to Task Order No. 5 with HDR Engineering to perform Phase 2 Engineering for the replacement of the Kelly Ridge Powerhouse turbine shutoff valve, at a total estimated cost of $168,293.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT In December 2012, the Board affirmed a short-term (November 30 – December 31, 2012) consulting services agreement with Aileen Foley (California Connections) for promoting SFWPA and the Oroville area to beverage bottlers in Ireland. An amendment to that agreement was approved in January extending the term through February 6, 2013. Ms. Foley is head of an international business development and government affairs firm headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Her specialty is fostering Irish-California foreign direct investment, and she came to Mr. Glaze’s attention through Sam Driggers, Economic Development Manager for the City of Oroville. He was familiar with Ms. Foley as a result of previous business development work originating from the 2006 Sacramento Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce international study mission to Dublin. Ms. Foley’s efforts have led to a January 23 meeting by Mr. Glaze with Gerry Staunton, Irish Consul General; the February 6 visit to Oroville by Annette Mahon, Global Economic Development Director for Connect Ireland; and, a conference call Mr. Glaze had on February 26 with David Fitzgerald, Managing Director of Britvic Ireland Ltd. (Britvic is a British producer of soft drinks, and one of the largest in Europe). She is continuing to follow up with requests for information from Britvic’s V.P. of Franchising, and has met with Sinead Finnegan, General Secretary of the Beverage Council of Ireland. She is also working on getting the Agency included in a trade delegation from California to Ireland in the fall. Mr. Glaze opined that Ms. Foley adds significantly to the success potential of the Agency’s efforts to boost Oroville’s economy through the recruitment of beverage and water-dependent food manufacturers, and he recommended continuing the Agency’s contractual relationship with her. However, rather than continuing to approve short-term amendments, he proposed a 12-month agreement, commencing retroactively to March 1. Directors reviewed the proposed consulting services agreement that Ms. Foley had already executed.

M/S/C (Onken/Hunter) approving, and authorizing the General Manager to execute, the consulting services agreement with Aileen Foley, California Connections, for a fee of $5,000 per month for 12 months commencing March 1, 2013; affirmation of payment of $2,500 to Ms. Foley for her services from February 7 through February 28, 2013; and, approval of 2013 Supplemental Appropriation/Budget Modification #2 in the amount of $60,000 to cover the cost of Ms. Foley’s services.

KELLY RIDGE POWERHOUSE RTU REPLACEMENT In March 2012 the Board approved a Master Services Agreement with Stone and Webster for completion of the SCADA Replacement Project. Also approved in the 2013 budget was $300,000 for replacement of the remote terminal unit (RTU) at Kelly Ridge Powerhouse, as the first of a multi-year project to upgrade the RTUs that interface with the new SCADA system. Directors reviewed a site-survey report prepared by Stone and Webster’s staff that describes the work that will be done at Kelly Ridge Powerhouse, and the equipment needed to complete the job. Directors also reviewed Contract Work Authorization (CWA 2013-1) with an estimate of $87,739 for Stone and Webster’s labor. Brian Howerton and Agency staff that assists him will be charging their time on the project to the appropriate accounting code, and the equipment itself is expected to cost about $70,000. Therefore, the project will be completed for less than the amount budgeted for 2013. M/S/C (Onken/Moreland) approving, and authorizing the General Manager to execute,

the Contract Work Authorization Task Order 2013-1 with Stone and Webster, with a not-to-exceed project cost of $87,739.

SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Kathy Zancanella, Power Division Manager DATE: April 17, 2013 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on agenda) 4/23/13 Board of Directors Meeting Operations Attached are the March 2013 Power Division Summary Report and a chart showing Forbestown precipitation as of April 16. The 50.59 inches recorded at the Forbestown gauge to date equals the amount that fell as of the end of April last year. DWR conducted a mid-month snow survey at Pilot Peak on April 16, assisted by the Agency’s hydrographer Eddie Paul. Half of the snow course contained an inch or less of snow depth, and water content averaged only 1.7 inches. The spill gates at Little Grass Valley Dam were closed on March 27. At the March 2013 Board meeting, Director Onken requested a comparison of the Department of Water Resources (DWR) runoff forecasts based on April 1 snowpack measurements for the past few years. These forecasts are published in Bulletin 120, which is typically uploaded to the web around the 10th of each month, although the full report was not yet uploaded as of the date of this report. The latest estimated percent of average runoff for the Feather River at Oroville is 55%. The chart shows that last year’s statewide runoff was at 60% of average, and the year before it was 120% of average. Another update will be provided in May.

Woodleaf Penstock Release to Forbestown Ditch The cone valve that controls releases of water from the Woodleaf penstock to the Forbestown Ditch had begun to leak significantly when in the closed position. After coordinating with North Yuba Water District, who was meeting its Forbestown Treatment Plant demands with water form Oroleve Creek, the crew removed the valve and sent it to Thomas Machine Shop in Chico for refurbishment of the valve seats. The seats had been worn due to years of service with sand and gravel from the Woodleaf tunnel passing through. The valve was placed back in service on April 2. Releases to the Forbestown Ditch are scheduled to begin April 22. Sly Creek Campground Preparation Several members of the Power Division crew began preparing Sly Creek and Strawberry campgrounds for opening. They removed dead trees and limbs that could be hazardous, cleaned out culverts and cleaned up pine needles and garbage left behind by campers who used the sites out of season. They also flushed the water system in preparation for testing, and filled in the old vault toilet in preparation for its use as a storage building for the camp hosts. Kelly Ridge Powerhouse Turbine Shutoff Valve Replacement The new 48-inch turbine shutoff valve for Kelly Ridge Powerhouse arrived in Forbestown from Busan, South Korea on April 11. The bottom of the shipping crate sustained some damage when it was offloaded at the Port of Oakland, but the valve itself was unharmed. The valve will be installed during an outage scheduled to begin October 1, 2013. A request for proposals for the installation work will be distributed during the week of April 22.

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Steve Wong, Finance Division Manager DATE: April 18, 2013 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on the agenda) 4/23/13 Board of Directors Meeting South Feather Relicensing Consulting Services No invoices have been submitted this month by HDR for relicensing consulting services. Total payments to HDR for relicensing services amount to $5,115,556 for services rendered through May 5, 2012. The budget balance remaining under this agreement is $35,206. ACWA/JPIA Retrospective Premium Adjustment The Agency has its property, liability and workers compensation insurance coverage through ACWA/JPIA. In 1999, the ACWA/JPIA established the Retrospective Premium Adjustment (RPA) Stabilization Fund to minimize fluctuations in member premiums. Each year the ACWA/JPIA analyzes the three programs, determines the fund balances and the RPA Stabilization Fund requirements for each participating agency, and if the agency is negative (or positive) by more than 50% of that agency’s required balance, the agency is billed (or refunded) the difference. For the year ended September 30, 2012, SFWPA received neither a bill nor a refund. In the past, the Agency has received refunds ranging from $15,000 to $125,000, including a 2012 refund in the amount of $58,397. Auditors The Agency’s auditors, Richardson & Company, conducted on-site field work during the week of April 8. As required by auditing standards, Finance Committee members Dennis Moreland and Steve Onken were interviewed. The audit process proceeded smoothly, Agency staff did a terrific job preparing worksheets, various analyses and cooperating with all of the auditor requests for information and documentation. It is anticipated the report will be completed within the next two weeks. Employee Retirement Announcement Bookkeeper Debby Cunningham has announced her retirement date of September 27, 2013. She has been with South Feather Water and Power for over 25 years, responsible for accounts payable and payroll, along with always being available to assist with the front counter and phones as needed. Most recently, Mrs. Cunningham has been instrumental and invaluable in all of the Agency’s dealings with CalPERS.

SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager DATE: April 19, 2013 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on agenda) 4/26/13 Board of Directors Meeting Operations Water Division staff have been accomplishing normal system maintenance and operations tasks. Ongoing work projects include domestic service installations, distribution system betterments, and leak repairs. On Monday, April 1, distribution crews installed a new 8” water main interconnection, approximately 50 feet in length that crossed both lanes and temporarily stopped traffic at times on Lincoln Boulevard near North Villa Avenue. The crew worked very efficiently throughout the day and without interruptions or breaks in order to get the components installed, turned back on, and to return traffic flow to normal. The new interconnecting pipeline and isolation valves improve water distribution flow from a 16” mainline on Lincoln to a small network of dead-end 6” water mains on North Villa, and will reduce the number of potential customers without water during future repairs and improvement projects. In February a letter was written to President Lou Lodigiani from Horizon Tower, LLC, regarding its interest in the Kelly Ridge (Million Gallon Tank) property as a potential site for a wireless communication facility. Horizon Tower is a provider of co-location telecommunications facilities throughout California and Arizona for clients such as T Mobile, AT&T Wireless, and others. Since the initial contact from Horizon, Agency management and staff have had additional discussions in email, conference calls, and a site visit, regarding the concept of a leased 50’ x 50’ area for tower and ground facilities. Discussion items so far have included opportunities for the Agency to utilize tower space for its own communication purposes, leasing terms, and access to the site. At this time it is still premature to assess the likelihood of the Kelly Ridge site housing a wireless facility. However, ongoing discussion, evaluation and negotiation will be continuing and the Board of Directors will be informed and provided additional details as the opportunity develops. Miners Ranch Treatment Plant raw-water pump #3 feeding the treatment plant is currently having a new 125 HP variable frequency motor drive installed as part of a 2013 budget project. Maintenance Technician Charlie McCauley and MRTP operators are replacing an inefficient and unreliable 25-year-old variable-frequency drive. The project will result in improved energy efficiency, improved operations reliability, and enhanced remote operations.

Irrigation System Operations Irrigation water orders have reached a point where additional water needs to be diverted into the system. In addition to the availability of local creek inflow, the Forbestown Ditch operations will be ramping up to deliver 5 CFS to WD6. The pictures at right and below show the sediment buildup and clearing efforts at the Honcut Creek diversion that feeds the lower section of the Forbestown and South Honcut Ditch.

The current irrigation flows are as follows: Forbestown Ditch SF 14 = 0 cfs

NYWD = 0 cfs SFWPA @ WD 6 = 0 cfs Bangor Canal SF 25 = 6 cfs Palermo Canal SF30 = 3 cfs

Water Treatment Operations

I have previously reported on the improvements at Miners Ranch Treatment Plant on the chlorine feed system and I am pleased to report that the new system is online and operating. The upgraded system utilizes sensors and output controls, through SCADA, to automatically adjust the gas-feed rate dependent on plant outflow (demand) to achieve the desired disinfectant concentration. The photograph at left shows Jim Coffelt, John Shipman and Charlie McCauley “dialing” in the chlorine feed controllers with assistance from the manufacturer’s representative.

MRTP total treated water production shown on the table at right and the historical graph at the end of this report indicates that the water demand is approximately average for this time of year.

SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Michael Glaze, General Manager DATE: April 16, 2013 RE: General Information (regarding matters not scheduled on the agenda) 4/23/13 Board of Directors Meeting Business Recruitment Branding/Marketing Project The attached letter was sent earlier this month to the chief executives of the City of Oroville, County of Butte, Oroville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Oroville Economic Development Corporation, requesting a formal commitment of support from each of their governing boards/council. The request for proposals (RFP) for development and implementation of a branding and business-recruitment marketing program for the greater Oroville area, reviewed by the Board at its last meeting, was released on March 29. A number of firms have responded after receiving the RFP and said that they are excited about the project and are in the process of preparing responses. The next event in the consultant-recruitment process is a “Pre-Proposal Conference” that will be held in SFWPA’s Board Room at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 2. This is not a mandatory meeting for proposers but is being offered to give them an opportunity to ask questions regarding the requirements outlined in the RFP. All Grow Oroville Coalition (GOCO) representatives are invited to be present to help me answer whatever questions might be asked (assuming someone shows up). The submittal deadline for proposals is May 17, and GOCO representatives will again be convened for an initial evaluation of proposals at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 22. We’ll decide at that time if we want to conduct interviews on May 30 & 31 (specified in the RFP as “optional”). Miners Ranch Treatment Plant Improvement Project Financing As was discussed during development of this year’s budget, we are still on track to initiate the Miners Ranch Treatment Plant Improvement Project in early 2014. In preparation for and to facilitate that design/build project, the 2013 budget includes funds for hiring an independent financial advisor to assist the Agency in developing a financing strategy for the project. An RFP to facilitate selection of the financial

advisor is attached. Approval for a contract with the selected proposer should be on the agenda for June 25, 2013. Treatment Operator Recruitment After Jerry Gentry’s announcement of his May 30 retirement date, a recruitment process was initiated for a new water treatment operator. The Agency’s web site provides information about the position and explains that the vacant position will be filled with a qualified individual possessing a T3 or T4 water treatment certification, if one can be recruited. If a T3 or T4 is not available, then an Operator-in-Training will be hired to commence a two-year apprenticeship. Letters were sent to individuals who had previously expressed interest in employment with the Agency and who possessed, or were in the process of obtaining, a T2 treatment certificate. Letters were also sent to several hundred individuals residing in Northern California who already possess a T3 or T4 certificate (contact information provided by State Department of Public Health). The following teaser was used to get their attention.

If you’re tired of long commutes, congested communities, shifts that demand your presence when the rest of your family wants to recreate, check us out. Oroville is located in the southeastern portion of Butte County along the eastern edge of the Sacramento Valley. It is the gateway to the Feather River Canyon and the Lake Oroville State Recreation Area. Lake Oroville offers fishing, house boating, swimming, picnicking, water skiing and jet skiing. The area also provides excellent hunting and golf, as well as mountain bike, equestrian, and hiking trails. It’s definitely a place you can live, work and play all in the same day. SFWPA’s wage rates and benefits are very competitive – especially the 3% @ 60 PERS retirement if you are already a PERS member.

The deadline for submitting applications is May 3, with a target employment date of July 8. As of this writing, four applications have been received from individuals with T3, T4 and T5 certificates. Nine applications have been received from T2 certified (or in the process of being T2 certified) individuals. So, I’m anticipating that recruitment of a T3 or better is very likely.

Box 959 Oroville, California 95965 Oroville, California 95965 Re: Grow Oroville Coalition (GOCO) Business Recruitment Branding and Marketing Program Ladies and Gentlemen: Thank you for your support and for the great effort of those who have represented you over the past four months as the Grow Oroville Coalition has come together for the purpose of stimulating economic development in the Oroville area. All of us have economic growth as a common interest, and this may be the first time that such a cooperative and synergistic effort has been made to boost this area’s economy. It is my hope that what we have experienced and accomplished over the last four months will continue so that our efforts can be focused on bigger and better tasks to improve the economy of Oroville and the surrounding county. But for now, Coalition-member representatives have identified branding and marketing of our community as a prerequisite and the first effort needed for the success of future business recruitment efforts. Business recruitment in our community will continue to struggle and be handicapped until a solid branding and marketing program is developed. A concerted effort must be made by our group, and others, working collectively to develop a brand that all of our organizations can use in their respective efforts to foster economic growth within Butte County – a brand and a message that is consistent, concise and unforgettable. Without such a tool, the Oroville area will continue being just another community hoping to get lucky. We all agree that retaining a proven an experienced public relations firm to create a quality marketing brand and outreach program is essential to the community’s future economic growth. Toward that end, Agency staff prepared a request for proposals (RFP) to facilitate the selection of a qualified consulting firm to develop and implement a branding and business-recruitment marketing program for the greater Oroville

The selected consultant would be tasked with creating an industry brand that would define the community of Oroville and leave a compelling and unique perception in the minds of manufacturers, beverage bottlers, water-dependent food processing companies and other businesses that are searching for a site to build or expand manufacturing and/or processing facilities. I recently reported to the Agency’s Board of Directors that, although strongly supported by the Coalition, the budgets of the other GOCO members are such that they are not presently in a position to commit to sharing a portion of the $80,000 - $150,000 estimated cost of the branding/marketing effort. Nevertheless, Agency directors all affirmed their support for the Agency funding the effort, at this time, so that it can move forward. The Board considers the branding/marketing effort as absolutely necessary to stimulate economic growth in the Oroville area which has the possibility of greatly benefiting the Agency and your respective entities. Given this overwhelming support of the Agency's Board of Directors, the RFP (a copy of which you were previously sent via email) was released on March 29. It is anticipated that the evaluation process and contract negotiations will result in consideration of a contract award by the Agency’s Board on June 25, 2013. Although South Feather Water and Power Agency is willing to sponsor and finance this important task, its Board of Directors would greatly appreciate a formal commitment of support (e.g., resolution) from the other Coalition members, including a commitment to make a good-faith effort to assist in funding the cost of the consulting firm (the proposed term of the consultant’s contract for the marketing program is through December 31, 2014). It would be greatly appreciated if said commitments could be provided prior to June 25 when the Board will consider approving the contract of the selected branding/marketing consultant. If you have questions or need additional information, please let me know. Sincerely, South Feather Water and Power Agency Michael C. Glaze, General Manager

2.0 BACKGROUND The Agency service area is located 70 miles north of Sacramento on the east side of California's Sacramento Valley in the Sierra foothills of southeast Butte County. The Oroville Area Land Use Plan of the Butte County General Plan designates much of the service area of SFWPA as Agricultural-Residential. The purpose of the Agricultural-Residential designation is to provide areas for agricultural uses and single-family dwellings at rural densities. Although the primary water supplier for the City of Oroville is California Water Company, SFWPA provides treated water to approximately 2,000 residences in the northeast quadrant of the city. South Feather Water and Power Agency – originally named Oroville-Wyandotte Irrigation Agency (“OWID” or “Agency”) – has roots extending back to the California gold rush. The ditch system utilized by the Agency today to distribute its irrigation water is a modification and expansion of the ditch network constructed by early miners who diverted water from tributaries of the Feather River to their mining claims. In 1852, a small ditch company was organized to construct a ditch from the South Fork of the Feather River to the mining sites at Forbestown, Wyandotte, Honcut, Ophir, and Bangor. The Palermo Ditch, completed in 1856 by the Feather River and Ophir Water Company, was a major impetus to the growth of gold mining within the area occupied by the present City of Oroville where rich gold deposits were discovered in 1849. OWID was organized on November 17, 1919, and included 16,800 acres of land. The Agency was formed by assuming the old water rights from the South Feather Land and Water Company and the Palermo Land and Water Company. In July 1944, OWID initiated plans to sell water for domestic use, and between 1944 and 1967, approximately 80 miles of coal-tar lined and tar paper wrapped steel pipe was installed. The residential growth rate within the Agency was greatly accelerated by the housing demands associated with the construction of Oroville Dam in the early 1960's. The irrigation system in the northern part of the Agency was slowly abandoned as the domestic pipeline system was expanded to meet the growing residential demand. By 1962, OWID served approximately 4,800 acres of agricultural land, with 8,000 AF of irrigation water delivered by the Agency. In addition to irrigation service, the Agency furnished water to approximately 2,500 residences. As a result of the concern for an adequate water supply and for a revenue source to fund the Agency’s expanding infrastructure, the Agency’s Board of Directors proposed the construction of the South Feather Power Project (FERC License No. 2088, originally named South Fork Project). The South Feather Power Project, covering 82 square miles in three counties, consisted of eight dams, 9

tunnels, 21 miles of canals and conduits, three hydroelectric power plants and 21 miles of road. The project was completed in 1963 at a cost of $62 million, and was financed through the sale of revenue bonds secured by the projected revenues from power generation. Those bonds were defeased in 2009. In 1975, Congress passed the Clean Water Act that enacted sweeping changes in domestic drinking water standards. No longer would unfiltered surface water be acceptable for drinking water. Faced with a building moratorium, OWID voters passed a revenue bond in 1978 that allowed for the construction of Miners Ranch Treatment Plant. Today, SFWPA has grown to provide water to approximately 6,650 households, maintains a service area of over 31,000 acres supplied by 141 miles of pipeline, and delivers irrigation water seasonally to over 500 customers by way of approximately 100 miles of primarily open earthen canals. The Agency’s 2013 Budget is summarized as follows:

Beginning Balance $24,959,609 Revenue Sale of Water $ 2,500,000 Sale of Electricity 15,500,000 Other Revenues 3,256,000 $ 21,256,000 Expenses Salaries & Benefits $ 9,058,710 Supplies & Services 3,259,690 Capital Projects 4,739,100 Contract Distribution 709,000 Debt Service 449,526 $ 18,216,026 Reserve / Ending Balance $27,999,583

To accommodate anticipated growth within the Agency’s service area over the next 30 years, the Agency has undertaken a project to expand and upgrade its Miners Ranch Treatment Plant (MRTP) to address system demands and anticipated regulatory requirements. In preparation for this improvement project, the Agency has already accomplished two preliminary phases of work:

Facilities Review – defined the regulatory and operations requirements for the treatment plant expansion, evaluated the current condition of the various process units at MRTP, and identified treatment and expansion alternatives;

Page 56: SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCYsouthfeather.com/assets/2013/04/20130423_Packet.pdf · SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY. AGENDA . Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors of

Alternatives Analysis – analyzed and selected improvements and expansion alternatives which include enhanced mixing, clarification, filtration, disinfection and residuals handling facilities and practices.

An important objective for the MRTP Improvement Project is to reliably meet current water demands and the projected increased water demands anticipated with population growth over the next 30 years (based on an annual growth rate of 1.5%). Redundancy, safety and operational flexibility are also important considerations for the project. The expanded plant must meet current and anticipated future drinking water regulations under changing water quality and flow conditions – challenges that limit the existing plant’s capacity. The system’s current maximum-day demand is 11 million gallons per day (mgd). In the direct filtration mode, the plant’s current treatment (design) capacity is 14.5 mgd – 10.8 mgd firm capacity (with one filter out of service). The proposed plant expansion will increase design capacity to 21 mgd, which corresponds to 18 mgd firm capacity. It is anticipated that the Agency will employ a design-build (most likely “CM at Risk”) method of project delivery, and wishes to finance all project costs, including design, construction and construction engineering and management. The Agency’s legal counsel has opined that the Agency may be limited in the types of financing it can employ if it pursues an alternative project delivery method other than the traditional bid/design/bid/construction method. Specific limitations come from Public Contract Code §§20560-205750 which require an irrigation district to competitively bid “works” projects paid for “with the proceeds of the sale of bonds or a limited assessment.”

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Michael Glaze, General Manager DATE: April 16, 2013 RE: General Policy #470, Investments – Proposed Amendments Agenda Item for 4/23/13 Board of Directors Meeting The Agency’s policy regarding the investment of surplus funds was adopted in 1996, and was amended once in 2006. Dustin Cooper recently reviewed the policy and recommends amendments to bring it into conformance with current law. Also needing amendment are the fund names, listed under “Scope,” to which the policy applies. The proposed amendments are shown on the attachment (additions and deletions), with a “clean” copy of the amended policy following. Because the proposed amendments are only for the purpose of conforming to state law, the Policy Committee was not convened to review the proposed changes. Staff and counsel recommend the following action:

“I move approval of the changes proposed by staff and legal counsel to General Policy #470, ‘Investments.’”

SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Michael Glaze, General Manager DATE: April 16, 2013 RE: PERS Health Care

Agenda Item for 4/23/13 Board of Directors Meeting All Agency employees have been covered by the PERS health care plan (Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act) since 1990. But when the Agency contracted with PERS for employee retirement purposes (2008), a new resolution was required “electing to be subject to the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act, in addition to the Public Employees’ Retirement System retirement plan” that had just previously been approved for Agency employees. A copy of the resolution (08-7-3) adopted in July 2008 in the form prescribed by PERS is attached. A component of Resolution No. 08-7-3 was to specify the maximum “employer's contribution for each annuitant [retiree].” But, in accordance with all of the Agency’s MOUs with bargaining units, the maximum contribution for retiree health insurance changes each year, depending on the amount of premiums charged by PERS. Unfortunately, PERS won’t adjust the amount it will apply to retiree premiums each year without a new resolution. We didn’t become aware of this issue until recently when the first employee retired since before 2008. Because PERS will not accept a resolution prescribing an adjustable maximum employer’s contribution for retiree health premiums, it appears that a new resolution will be required after notice is received each year as to the new health insurance premiums for that year. The first of these is hereby submitted for Board consideration (see attached), with a request for the following action:

"I move adoption of Resolution 13-4-1, fixing the employer’s contribution under the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act."

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Kathy Zancanella, Power Division Manager DATE: April 16, 2013 RE: Approval of Award of Contract – Forbestown Headquarters Shop Repair Agenda Item for 4/23/13 Board of Directors Meeting On December 2, 2012, a tree fell through the roof of the Forbestown mechanic’s shop during one of the more severe storms of the winter and caused significant damage to the building. A structural engineer determined that, due to the amount of damage to the roof and support trusses, the entire structure should be replaced and engineered to modern standards. The insurance adjuster appointed by ACWA-JPIA concurred, and replacement of the roof structure was put out to bid. The Agency has already received a portion of the insurance payment for the project. Bids for the work were received from Belfor Property Restoration, Modern Building Company and Truitt Group. The bid provided by Truitt Group was the lowest at $101,204 and was within the amount approved by the Agency’s property insurer. The work includes removal of the entire shop roof structure and the extension over the gasoline tank, engineering of the new roof structure to meet snow load requirements, installation of the new roof, and replacement of lighting and damaged windows. A copy of the proposal by Truitt Group and the proposed Agreement for Forbestown Headquarters Shop Roof Replacement are attached. The recommended form of action is:

“I move approval of, and authorization for the General Manager to sign, the Agreement for Forbestown Headquarters Shop Roof Replacement with Truitt Group, at a cost of $101,204.”

SOUTH FEATHER WATER & POWER AGENCY

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Matt Colwell, Water Division Manager DATE: April 18, 2013 RE: Automated Network Controls Contract for Services Agenda Item for 4/23/13 Board of Directors Meeting The 2013 Budget includes $28,000 for upgrading and modernizing telemetry and automation controls at Bangor and Miners Ranch treatment plants. Most of the project’s communication and automation components have been purchased and staff is currently working on the installation and preparing for inter-connection of the upgraded control system. Considering the importance of maintaining treatment operations and minimizing potential outages, the project includes professional assistance for communication and control integration. Assistance from consultants who specialize in the design and operation of this type of telemetry will also enhance staff’s ability to self-perform future communication and controls projects. Attached is a proposed consulting services agreement and a detailed scope of work that was collaboratively developed by Automated Controls Network and Agency staff. The knowledgeable staff at Automated Network Controls has provided specialized services on other Agency projects by providing procurement and integration support at reasonable and competitive rates and is highly recommended by the vendor, REXEL Datacom. The work is to be completed on a time and materials basis with a total not-to-exceed price of $5,000. The recommended form of action is:

“I move approval of, and authorization for the General Manager to execute, the Consulting Services Agreement with Automated Network Controls to provide treatment plant communication and control integration services for a not-to-exceed cost of $5,000.”
