Message from the General ManagerJuly 26, 2012Honorable Chair and Members of the Board of Directors:Enclosed is the adopted Fiscal Year 2012/13 Budget. Although thereare signs that some segments of the economy may be improving, ourlocal communities continue to experience an extended period ofeconomic difficulty. In that regard, the MRWPCA Board and staffhave taken great care to develop a budget that sustains operationswith a real emphasis on controlling costs.As most public water and wastewater agencies are facing the dilemma of how to deal withaging infrastructure, we have implemented our Capital Improvement Program (CIP) tomaintain, renovate and replace facilities and pipelines. The <strong>Agency</strong> is on track to maintain andimprove our infrastructure and will continue to providethe safe and efficient services our ratepayers have cometo expect.Through efforts by the Budget/Personnel Committee,staff and the entire Board, a pay-as-you go option wasimplemented to sustain the CIP projects rather than toencumber new debt. The small user fee rate increasefor this year and next is earmarked to provide thefunding necessary to implement CIP work based on thepriorities evaluated by our engineering staff. Beingable to bid projects for repairs and improvementsduring this economic time offer the advantage oflower/competitive pricing and provide much-neededwork for companies in our region.Over the last 15 years, our base residential user rate has increased only about 1.5% per year. Incomparison, the consumer price index rose almost 50% during the same period. In this secondyear of the 3-year rate increase the rates have increased only 75 cents. Our continuing focus oncost controls has resulted in treatment costs and user fees much lower than state-wide averagesfor facilities our size. Again, credit goes to our hard-working staff and our vigilant Board thathave kept service and cost control to our ratepayers a top priority.Budget TargetsAs with previous years, we continue to place emphasis on budget goals by closely monitoring andresponding to our internal financial targets. This year the budget for general fund O&Mexpenditures will be slightly less than the previous year by 2.7%. This is a result of our1
department heads reviewing and reducing operating budgets, aswell as maintaining lower staff levels (20% reduction since 1995).They have been able to cut costs without hindering efficientoperations – a tribute to our staff for keeping efficiency in theforefront while maximizing savings on behalf of our ratepayers.Retrospective Review of Fiscal Year 2011/12The MRWPCA WayContinue to provide a “regional focus” in an effort tosupport the needs of all our member communities Demonstrate efficient operations and financial stability Establish innovative leadership in the wastewater and recycled water industryReclamation Projects for <strong>Monterey</strong> County Recycled water for agriculture irrigation – 55+ billion gallons since 1998 Efficient and safe operations – no water safety issues Ongoing dialogue with Growers at the <strong>Water</strong> Quality and Ops meetings Study to assist with reduction of salinity levels for agriculture Evaluating additional sources of water for treatment Providing solar energy for the SVRP tertiary plant – reducing costs for theGrowers Salinas River Diversion Facility Additional water for the Growers – well pumping reduced <strong>Monterey</strong> County made successful repairs to the rubber damGroundwater Replenishment Project MOU with Cal Am and MPWMD signed in April 2012 to provide additional waterfor the Peninsula Awarded $150,000 Bureau of Reclamation “<strong>Water</strong>SMART” Grant Expedited project on schedule for completion by December 2016 Project team of experts ready to goMRWPCA Plant Operations Honored as Large Plant of the Year for CWEA <strong>Monterey</strong> Bay Section (2 nd Place forState of California) – Grade V facility “Right-sized” staffing levels – employ and develop experienced staff members whoare sought out for their expertise Outstanding Discharge Permit Compliance Positive and safe work environment – Workers’ Comp Experience ModificationFactor reduced to .76 (-.03) Energy Audit – Co-Generation very productive, Solar Project saving for growers, andlow-energy lighting throughout RTPCapital Improvement Program (CIP) $4.25 million CIP budget for coming year $3.74 million for <strong>Regional</strong> Treatment Plant renovations and improvements $510,000 pump station repair and enhancement Pay-as-you-go funding to finance the CIP (short-term: $3.8 to $4.5 million annually)2

The Board of Directors has also recognized the need to balance each entitymember’s needs relative to wastewater safety and recycled water issues whether large memberor small and has committed themselves to compromise and collaboration with everyone feelingthey are equal partners. This sense of community effort becomes particularly important at atime when it is more difficult to develop even a small water project. The Board continues tomaintain its desire to provide needed resources to each of our regional entities.We thank you for your comments and input at the June 13 Board/Budget Workshop meeting torefine and clarify areas of the budget. We expect Fiscal Year 2012/13 will be an extremely busyand productive year for providing quality MRWPCA services for our ratepayers and thecommunity. Thanks, again, for your service, support, and guidance.Sincerely,Keith E. IsraelGeneral Manager3

Funds, Debt Service and InvestmentsBackground/OverviewThe <strong>Monterey</strong> <strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Pollution</strong> <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Agency</strong> (MRWPCA) operates with a General Fund(GF) and Reserve Account (GFR), Capacity Charges Fund (CCF), Capitalized Equipment Fund (CEF),Urban Reclamation Fund (URF), Debt Service (DS), Capital Projects Fund (CPF) and variousinvestment accounts. Below is a brief explanation of these:General Fund (GF)The GF is the MRWPCA's operating fund andgenerates its revenue from sewer user fees and anumber of other revenues. The fund consists ofseven separate departments (ten including threedepartments for Reclamation) for trackingexpenses. The fund is also tracked bycategories as shown on pages 4-6. The othersubstantial expense is Debt Service as shown onpage 9.The MRWPCA approves a balanced budgeteach fiscal year beginning on July 1. Theprocedure for a balanced budget is, as follows:1. Establish expenses for the upcoming year.2. Establish other revenues for the upcomingyear, plus prior year carryover.3. Determine whether user fee rates willhave to be adjusted to balance the budget.General Fund Reserves (GFR)The purpose of the GFR is to maintain adequatefunds for the GF for unforeseen impacts andswings in revenues and expenses that may occurfrom year to year. Currently, the interest earnedin the GFR is transferred to the GF. It is alsoused to pay a portion of various capital projectsand funds the OMRF, as well as any largeinsurance deductibles that may occur. Inaddition, the GFR is currently funding the urbanreclamation projects. It is anticipated that onceurban reclamation customers are established,these funds will be returned to the GFR.FundsCapitalized Equipment Fund (CEF)The CEF was created for the purpose of stabilizingand avoiding sudden negative budgetary impactsin a particular year due to the purchase ofcapitalized equipment ($2,500 and above). Thisfund is required as part of the Grant RevenueProgram Guidelines. Funding for the CEF comesfrom the GFR. Details of the Equipment Fund canbe found on pages 27-29.Capital Projects Fund (CPF)The CPF is the MRWPCA's fund for providingconstruction capital for MRWPCA facilities,funding for the CEF and paying a portion of the<strong>Agency</strong>’s Debt Service. Funding for the CPF isprovided primarily from capacity charges andGFR. Depending on the size of projects, this fundmay get additional funds from long-termfinancing. Details of the projects can be found onpages 23-26.Urban Reclamation Fund (URF)The URF was created for the purpose of fundingthe ongoing planning and public outreach forproviding urban reclamation to a number of ourentities. The current funding is coming from theGFR. It is anticipated that once urban reclamationcustomers are established, these funds will bereturned to the GFR. Details of the projects can befound on page 31.9
InvestmentsPolicies and ObjectivesThe MRWPCA invests funds not required forday-to-day operations in financial instruments,as permitted by policy and state regulations.The investment objectives are:1. To assure safety of principal.2. To retain liquidity to meet projected andunexpected cash needs of MRWPCA.3. To attain the best available yield, whilereturning liquidity and minimizing risk.No speculative or "trading" activity onsecurities is permitted.In researching other opportunities, staff contactedthe California Asset Management Program(CAMP) which was established in 1989 to provideinvestment management services to Californiapublic agencies.

In 2010 the HighPressure Gas Underground Pipeline was found to have several leaks and was replaced with a temporaryabove ground pipe. A number of necessary modifications to the Digester Gas System were identified andthis project will result in a more efficient system for usage of Digester Gas and automated flaring of wastegas.Requested FY12/13 Budget:$ 185,000 (Construction)$ 185,000CP203- Digester Mixing System UpgradesIn 2006, the gas mixing system on Digester #4 was replaced with a higher efficiency pump mixingsystem. In 2009 the design was completed for installation of two more pump mixing systems on Digesters#2 and 3. This fiscal year additional design was completed to address foaming and level measurementissues in the Digesters. This project was also combined with CP220 the Bioflocculation Project forconstruction. This project will construct the improvements to Digesters #2 and #3 as well as installationof level measurement on Digesters #2-4 and a new pump.25
