A performance benchmark is a partial market index, which reflects the mix of securities allowed under a specific investment policy. Bid. The price at which a buyer offers to buy a security. Broker.

The speed and ease with which an asset can be converted to cash. Make Whole Call. A type of call provision on a bond that allows the issuer to pay off the remaining debt early. Unlike a call option, with a make whole call provision, the issuer makes a lump sum payment that equals the net present value (NPV) of future coupon payments that will not be paid because of the call. With this type of call, an investor is compensated, or "made whole." Margin. The difference between the market value of a security and the loan a broker makes using that security as collateral.

Kuhn, President Brian Bowcock, Secretary SEAL: Resolution No.: 17-09-807 - DRAFT Page 16

  17. Item 8.A.2 Staff Report/Memorandum TVMWD Board of Directors To: From: Richard W. Hansen, General Manager Date: September 6, 2017 Subject: Employee Health Care Costs CY 2018 For Action Fiscal Impact Funds Budgeted Information Only Cost Estimate: $ Background: TVMWD’s policy requires employees to contribute 10% towards their individual medical premiums, with the following exceptions: • Employees hired before 12/31/10 under the previous allowance method • Single employees enrolled in Kaiser (JPIA requires 100% to be paid by TVMWD) • Employees enrolled in Anthem Blue Cross CDHP (Consumer Driven Health Plan) o For employees enrolled in the CDHP, TVMWD contributes to an employee’s HSA (Health Savings Account) plan (single - $400; two-party or more - $800). Employees may opt themselves and/or family members out of medical coverage with proof of comparable alternative medical coverage. The employee receives cash in the amount of 75% of the savings to TVMWD. JPIA requires that no more than 25% of TVMWD employees may opt out of medical coverage, so the opt out is on a first-come first-serve basis. For CY 2017, employees were only allowed to opt out if they had opted out the previous year. Discussion: In June 2017, the JPIA Executive Committee approved plan rates for 2018. Listed below is a summary of recent changes. These changes reflect the aggregate rate change and vary depending on status (single, two-party, family).

  18. Item 8.A.2 % change % change % change Plan 2017 to 2018 2016 to 2017 2015 to 2016 Anthem Blue Cross PPO 4.50% 12.00% 3.00% Anthem Blue Cross HMO 8.26% 12.00% -8.00% Anthem Blue Cross CDHP 4.50% 12.00% 0.49% Kaiser HMO 13.05% 2.41% 2.13% Delta Dental PPO 0.00% 0.00% -3.82% DeltaCare HMO 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% VSP 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% Staff completed a survey this past winter on the medical opt out plans of other agencies. After careful evaluation, staff has concluded the cash employees receive for opting out should be reduced from 75% to 70% of the average plan cost. This will increase TVMWD ’ s annual cost savings from $20,000 to $23,000, while maintaining the same dollar amounts as 2017 for the employees. The opt out will be available to all employees on a first-come first-serve basis. Staff’s recommendation is to continue the existing policy for employee’s 10% contribution to health care costs and to allow opting out of the medical plan for all employees with cash back in the amount of 70% of the average plan cost. Staff will bring this item back for board consideration at the September 20, 2017 meeting . Attached is a summary of TVMWD's health care costs for 2018 based on the proposed policy. Open enrollment for JPIA benefits is scheduled for October 2, 2017 through November 1, 2017. Strategic Plan Objectives 3.3 – Be accountable and transparent with major decisions  Page 2

  39. Item 8.C.1 Staff Report/Memorandum TVMWD Board of Directors To: From: Richard W. Hansen, General Manager Date: September 6, 2017 Subject: CEQA Lead Agency for Six Basins Watermaster Strategic Plan For Action Fiscal Impact Funds Budgeted Information Only Cost Estimate: $ Discussion: Over the past several years, Six Basins Watermaster (6BWM) has been developing a Strategic Plan that basin stakeholders can use to help chart out future projects and programs. The Strategic Plan is now at a stage wherein projects previously identified by the stakeholders can be presented for potential implementation. The 6BWM Board has determined that it would be beneficial to move the Strategic Plan forward with the evaluation of a set of identified projects. As part of this process, an environmental review that complies with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) must be conducted. Through the CEQA process, a public agency must act as the lead agency to offer public review and evaluation of relevant data, receive and address comments associated with the environmental assessment, and to adopt appropriate findings associated with that review. Since 6BWM is not a public agency, but rather an arm of the court, its Board of Directors have requested that Three Valleys MWD serve as the lead agency for the CEQA proceedings associated with the Six Basins Watermaster Strategic Plan. The 6BWM administrative staff has recommended that a Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) be the avenue that the CEQA process followed in this case. If the TVMWD Board agrees that Three Valleys will serve as the lead agency, TVMWD staff will begin coordinating with 6BWM administrative staff to undertake the necessary activities for future review, notifications, advertisements, etc. It is anticipated that 6BWM administrative staff will continue to do the bulk of the work associated with this CEQA process, and TVMWD staff will assume some of the resulting administrative and clerical tasks along the way. Any costs incurred by Three Valleys will be reimbursed by 6BWM. Strategic Plan Objectives: 3.3 – Be accountable and transparent with major decisions 3.4 – Communicate TVMWD’s role in the delivery of water

  40. Item 8.C.2 Staff Report/Memorandum TVMWD Board of Directors To: From: Richard W. Hansen, General Manager Date: September 6, 2017 Subject: TVMWD Grand Avenue Well For Action Fiscal Impact Funds Budgeted Information Only Cost Estimate: $ Discussion: A brief status report for the Grand Avenue Well Project is provided below: TVMWD Grand Avenue Well Project – Project No. 58446 Staff has continued to discuss and coordinate the proposed well project with the city of Claremont, LDS Church, Caltrans, LA County Fire Department , and the state’s Division of Drinking Water. TVMWD also reached out to the nearby residents by scheduling a project informational meeting in June 2017. Staff responded to phone calls received from residents and were able to adequately address their questions. No residents showed up to the informational meeting. The District’s consultant has prepared the environmental (CEQA) documentation for this project which includes the initial study and mitigated negative declaration (IS & MND) that was recently completed in mid-August. The IS/MND will be posted and distributed on September 7, 2017 to begin the 30-day public review and comment period which will end on October 9, 2017. The environmental consultant and staff will prepare written responses to public comments received. The public comments and responses will become part of the CEQA documents which will be brought before the Board for consideration and potential adoption on November 15, 2017 following the scheduled Public Hearing, which will be conducted as part of the Board Meeting. TVMWD ’s engineering consultant completed the Preliminary Design Report (PDR) for the Grand Avenue Well in mid July. The engineering consultant will complete the final design for well drilling (phase 1) after board adoption of the CEQA documentation. Strategic Plan Objectives: 1.4 – Capable of delivering 10,000 AFY from local sources in case of drought or catastrophe. 2.3 – Manage water infrastructure and staff operations to minimize costs. 3.3 – Be accountable and transparent with major decisions
