Oceano Community Services District 1655 Front Street, P.O. Box 599, Oceano, CA 93475 (805) 481-6730 FAX (805) 481-6836 Date: September 10, 2014 To: From: Subject: Board of Directors Paavo Ogren, General Manager Agenda Item 9(C) - Submittal for Approval a Mutual Assistance Agreement for Utility Support Services pursuant to the California Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network Recommendation It is recommended that your Board approve the attached Mutual Assistance Agreement for Utility Support Services and direct the President to execute. Discussion On August 27, 2014, your Board s agenda included a discussion item on the attached Mutual Assistance Agreement. At that time, your Board s general feedback to staff was supportive. As a result, the agreement is now submitted for approval. The CalWARN program exists to promote inter-agency mutual aid during emergencies. For OCSD, the mutual aid efforts will benefit utility services and provide us with the structure under which we can provide assistance to other agencies during emergencies. The Board discussion on August 27, 2014 also recognized that OCSD does not have a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), but that the Mutual Assistance Agreement is one step in moving forward with LHMP efforts. Without an LHMP, OCSD is not eligible for certain funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), especially non-emergency mitigation funding. Without a Mutual Assistance Agreement, OCSD could lose reimbursements from FEMA for costs paid by OCSD to other agencies who provide us emergency response during disasters that are declared by the President. Whether OCSD provides assistance to others as a Responding Agency, or receives assistance as a Requesting Agency, cost incurred by the Responding Agency are paid by the Requesting Agency.

Oceano Community Services District Board of Directors Meeting Discussion For the past few months, the District has been considering the purchase of a Multi-purpose Utility Vehicle. Most recently, on July 23, 2014, your Board considered financing options and final purchasing processes. At that time, your Board also referred the matter to the Finance and Audit Committee, who met on August 1, 2014, to develop recommendations on the terms of financing. Procurement The District s procurement processes were adopted pursuant to Resolution 2012-14 Policies, Procedures and Regulations Governing Purchase of Supplies and Equipment by the District Pursuant to Ordinance 1985-1. Section 7 requires formal bids on purchases in excess of $20,000. Section 9 establishes an alternative procedure by providing that the District Board of Directors may approve the purchase of supplies and equipment by accepting a proposal submitted by a vendor to another public agency for similar equipment upon Resolution of the District Board of Directors making the following findings: 1) The other public agency's procedures for the purchase were substantially similar or more stringent than the District's procedures as set forth herein; 2) The supplies or equipment to be purchased by the District are substantially similar to the supplies or equipment purchased by the other public agency, so that the submitted proposals would be responsive to the District's specifications; and 3) The proposed purchase is consistent with the policy of awarding the contract to the most responsive vendor with the consideration of price and delivery date. The attached resolution recognizes the use of the State of California s equipment bidding process through the Department of General Services Procurement Division Contract #1-14-23-20E. As previously reported on July 23, 2014, the use of the State s procurement contract had identified the ability to purchase a 2014 Ram 5500 for $59,502.30. Further research revealed that the State s procurement process also had a lower bidder for similar equipment, and the attached Purchase Order has been prepared to obtain a 2015 Ford F550 for $55,625.00. As a result, the estimated costs are now $3,877.30 less than previously estimated. September 10, 2014 Agenda Page 30 of 113 Agenda Item # 10(A) - Page 2 Staff Report

Oceano Community Services District Board of Directors Meeting Rabobank Financing On July 23, 2104, your Board reviewed terms of financing offered by De Lage Landen (part of Rabobank Group) and referred the options to the Finance and Audit Committee. The committee met on August 1, 2014 and recommends the 60 month (5 year) term for financing. The attached Proposal for Tax Exempt Lease Purchase Financing also has a slightly reduced interest rate from the prior proposal, from 5.06% to 5.04%. The terms require that the first installment is due at closing. As a result, the first check of $755.60 is also recommended for your Board s approval. Budget Adjustment In approving the District s Final Budget for fiscal year 2014-15, your Board established a designated reserve in the Governmental Fund for equipment and infrastructure in the amount of $60,000. Of that amount, $17,743.61 needs to be cancelled as a funding source for the truck s procurement. The following is a summary of costs and financing sources: Costs Truck and appurtenances $55,625.00 Truck safety and work lights 2,118.61 Total Costs $57,743.61 Source of Funds De Lage Landen Financing $40,000.00 Use of Reserves 17,743.61 Total Sources of Funds $57,743.61 The truck safety and work lights are procured separate from the Truck and not part of recommended action. (See attachment C for the bid received on the lights). Nevertheless, the budget adjustment also needs to cover the cost of the lights. Since the Governmental Fund is purchasing the truck, it will be included in the District s General Fixed assets. Repayment to the Governmental Fund from the Water and Sewer Funds will be based on quarterly depreciation charges (amortized over 5 years to match the term of the loan), plus interest. Usage of the truck will be tracked by fund so that quarterly charges to each fund will be based on actual costs and actual usage. Cost allocations distributed to the funds, and reimbursement of those September 10, 2014 Agenda Page 31 of 113 Agenda Item # 10(A) - Page 3 Staff Report

Oceano Community Services District Board of Directors Meeting costs to the Governmental Fund, will be accounted for in a manner that is similar to the District s allocation of administrative costs. Other Agency Involvement State of California Department of General Services Procurement Division provides equipment and supply bids that are available for local agencies throughout California. Other Financial Considerations Purchase of the multi-purpose utility vehicle by the Governmental Fund will help promote establishing equipment replacement funds. The allocation of costs for use in the water and sewer funds do not require budgetary adjustments, and overall, will provide for a current year budget savings in comparison to continue rental of a truck at $1,763.82 per month. Results Attachments: A. Resolution approving purchase order with Wondries Fleet Group and findings consistent with District Resolution 2012-14 B.

Oceano Community Services District 1655 Front Street, P.O. Box 599, Oceano, CA 93475 (805) 481-6730 FAX (805) 481-6836 Date: September 10, 2014 To: From: Subject: Board of Directors Paavo Ogren, General Manager Agenda Item #11 - Discussion for staff direction on the application for water service by Ken Mar Gardens Mobile Home Park Recommendation It is recommended that your Board review the application for services from Ken Mar Gardens Mobile Home Park and provide staff direction as you deem appropriate. Discussion Correspondence from Ken Mar Gardens MHP (Attachment A ) indicates that their existing well is going dry and that they are seeking approval for hook-up and the costs of the services. The following are issues that have been identified and must be addressed prior to service being approved: In June 2009, the San Luis Obispo County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) considered annexing Ken Mar Gardens MHP into the District boundaries. The LAFCo agenda item from June 18, 2009 is included as attachment B together with LAFCo s certificate of completion on the annexation. The City of Arroyo Grande s water distribution infrastructure is immediately adjacent to the property. o Neighboring mobile home parks which are within the District s boundaries and are District customers are connected to the City s water distribution system. o Attachment B also includes an agreement between the District and the City to establish the City s wheeling arrangement. A similar arrangement for Ken Mar Gardens MHP would need to be approved, which may require LAFCo approval. September 10, 2014 Agenda Page 49 of 113 Agenda Item #11 - Page 1 Staff Report

Oceano Community Services District Board of Directors Meeting o The City has provided an estimate of the cost of connecting Ken Mar Gardens, which is included in Attachment C, but the final approval would need to be included in an agreement between the District and the City. o Assuming that the water service connection is accomplished through a wheeling agreement with the City, attachment D includes the estimated fees that Ken Mars MHP would owe to the District. If the actual costs of engineering, financial, administrative and legal evaluations and other work to accomplish the connection exceed the application fee, those additional costs would also be due to the District from Ken Mar Gardens MHP. As an alternative to establishing connection through the City of Arroyo Grande, Ken Mar Gardens MHP could be required to extend the District s infrastructure to their property, at their cost, in addition to all other fees and costs associated with obtaining water service. In summary, the following are the options for providing water services to Ken Mar Gardens MHP. These options have been developed to obtain general direction from your Board but do not represent final recommendations on conditions. Final conditions would need to be established in a will-serve letter approved by your Board at a subsequent hearing. Option #1: Option #2: Establish a permanent service with Ken Mar Gardens MHP, with a connection to the City of Arroyo Grande s water system infrastructure, an agreement with the City, consideration of LAFCo requirements, and payment of District fees. Establish a permanent service with Ken Mar Gardens, with a requirement to extend the District s existing water system infrastructure, consideration of LAFCo requirements, and payment of District fees. As a result of conditions adopted by LAFCo in June 2009, the ability to provide emergency water only to Ken Mar Gardens MHP does not appear to be an option. LAFCo s conditions of annexation provide that Ken Mar Gardens can continue to use their existing well until they are connected to the community s water system. Likewise, once connected, they can no longer use their well and the water service from the District must be on a permanent basis.

Oceano Community Services District Board of Directors Meeting Other Agency Involvement The two sources of supply available to provide water through a connection with the City of Arroyo Grande include the District s State Water Supply and the District s Lopez Water Supply. Both supplies are obtained from the San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District under contracts between the Districts. The attached agreement in Exhibit B with the City relating to neighboring properties only identifies Lopez Water. If the District s infrastructure is extended to Ken Mars MHP, then the District s groundwater would also be available. Other Financial Considerations n/a Results Providing water service to Ken Mar Gardens MHP will help ensure a reliable supply to the property and its residents and promote healthy and livable communities Attachments: A.
