may have to reduce its pumping in the near future as the CVP is exported slightly more than its

60% of allowable pumping per the amended COA.

All CVP reservoirs are at near their seasonal maximum levels due to flood control, so

MEMORANDUM

TO: SLDMWA Board of Directors, Alternates

FROM: Scott Petersen, Water Policy Director Joe McGahan, Regional Drainage/Westside Watershed Coalition Coordinator

DATE: February 6, 2020

RE: Activity Agreements – Staff Report for January 2020

This memorandum serves as the Staff Report for January 2020 regarding specified1 Water Authority activities not separately addressed on the Board meeting agenda. 1. Integrated Regional Water Management Activity Summary San Joaquin River Funding Area (SJRFA)

Following the completion of the Needs Assessment, the SJRFA DACIP will now focus on identifying projects within the Funding Area for additional DAC support through technical assistance and capacity building. The SJRFA DACIP stakeholder advisory committee is meeting in mid-February to discuss the next steps for this funding and potential project ideas from each IRWM region.

DWR is conducting an eligibility and completeness review for the submitted Proposition 1 Round 1 IRWM Implementation application. The participating local project sponsors provided updated Groundwater Management Compliance Self-Certification forms following a request from DWR to reflect each agency’s GSP status. It is anticipated that the SJRFA will receive a draft funding announcement in late March or early April.

Tulare-Kern Funding Area (TKFA)

The Tulare-Kern Funding Area is anticipating receiving draft funding award from DWR in early February. If any projects in the TKFA are awarded funding, SLDMWA staff will coordinate grant administration support as needed.

1 For the sake of completeness, this includes those Activity Agreements that have been approved by the Board of Directors, but not yet signed by all interested members and/or participants (i.e., the Los Vaqueros Expansion Project Activity Agreement, the Exchange Contractors 2019-2023 Transfer Program Activity Agreement, and the Westside-San Joaquin Integrated Regional Water Management Activity Agreement).

Memo to SLDMWA Board of Directors February 6, 2020 Page 2 of 4

General Westside IRWM In January, the Westside-San Joaquin IRWM Activity Agreement members had a call to discuss the Fiscal Year 2021 IRWM Activity Agreement budget, discuss recent updates on the development of the Region’s Stormwater Resource Plan, and discuss next steps within the San Joaquin River and Tulare Kern Funding Areas.

A technical advisory committee (TAC) meeting was held for the Stormwater Resource Plan in early January. Activity Agreement members and other stakeholders attended this meeting. Following this meeting, a call for projects was announced for stormwater-related projects in the Westside-San Joaquin IRWM region; this will conclude on February 20th. The next TAC meeting is scheduled for February 10th at the SLDMWA Los Banos office.

2. Sustainable Groundwater Management Activity Summary Northern and Central Delta-Mendota Regions The Northern & Central Delta-Mendota Region Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) was successfully submitted to the Department of Water Resources’ SGMA Portal on January 23rd along with the five other GSPs in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin. The Northern and Central Region GSP’s associated reference, monitoring network, and historical data have also been uploaded to the SGMA Portal as required by DWR. The Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) in the Northern & Central DM GSP Region had been coordinating the development for the past few years to reach the target submittal date of January 31st. Prior to this submittal, all GSAs in the Northern & Central DM GSP Region held public hearings to adopt the GSP. DWR is currently finalizing a completeness check of the submitted GSPs. Once this is complete, DWR will open a 60-day public comment period to the GSP. The GSAs will now transition their focus from GSP development to GSP implementation and on-going efforts to complete the first Annual Report, which is due by April 1st. Representatives from the Northern and Central Delta-Mendota Region Management Committees have been discussing the Northern & Central GSP Group’s approach for GSP implementation for the past several months. The Finance Working Group, comprised of members from the Northern and Central Management Committees, convened several times to discuss the received proposals for GSP implementation support. The Finance Working Group recommended the selection of a hybrid approach for implementation, which will provide the Northern & Central DM Region GSP Group with support from the Woodard & Curran consultant team as well as from EKI for additional program management support for the first six months of GSP implementation. The January Management Committees meeting was held on January 30th. During this meeting, the Management Committee representatives approved several action items that the SLDMWA Board will consider for final approval, including:


- Recommendation to the SLDMWA Board of approval of the Fiscal Year 2021 SGMA Activity Agreement budgets

- Recommendation to the SLDMWA Board to authorize execution of consultant services agreements for GSP implementation and program management support within the Northern & Central Delta-Mendota Region

- Recommendation to the SLDMWA Board to increase the Fiscal Year 2020 budget and amend the GSP development contract to finalize the remaining tasks prior to the initiation of the implementation contracts

Representatives from the Northern & Central GSP Group agreed to pursue a single Annual Report for the Delta-Mendota Subbasin. The consultant teams will continue to coordinate with Northern & Central GSAs and other GSP Groups to compile the necessary data and develop the Annual Report for the Subbasin. General SGMA Activities All GSPs in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin were successfully submitted to DWR ahead of the January 31st deadline for the Subbasin. Prior to this submission, GSAs in the Subbasin held public hearings to adopt their respective GSP. The representatives and consultant teams for the various GSAs and GSPs in the Subbasin have been collaborating toward this target over the past few years. Subbasin-wide meetings were held in January for the Coordination Committee, DMS Working Group, and Technical Working Group. Now that the GSPs have been submitted, the focus in these meetings will shift to GSP implementation across the Subbasin. This month, DWR released draft funding announcements for recently submitted Proposition 68 grant applications. In this draft funding announcement, the Delta-Mendota Subbasin’s application received the full $500,000 that was requested in the application. There is currently a public comment period until February 10th. The GSP Groups in the Subbasin are initiating work for the projects outlined in the Proposition 68 application, which will focus on developing a Subbasin-wide well census and inventory, subsidence characterization and project feasibility determination, as well as funding for supplemental GSP development for each GSP Group. Additional Data Management System (DMS) Working Group calls were held this month to continue to refine the structure of the DMS and discuss the content of the Subbasin’s Annual Report. Staff finalized and distributed the 13th newsletter to all GSA representatives. This newsletter announced the successful submission of all six GSPs and provided additional summary of coordinated Delta-Mendota Subbasin SGMA activities as well as updates for each individual GSP group. 3.

MEMORANDUM

TO: SLDMWA Finance & Administration Committee Members, Board of Directors, Alternates

FROM: Pablo R. Arroyave, Chief Operating Officer


RE: Adoption of Resolution Providing for the Prioritization of Use for OM&R Revenues

BACKGROUND In order to finance the Jones Pumping Plant Unit Motor Rehabilitation Project, the Authority is currently pursuing an EPA Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act Loan (WIFIA loan) of up to $19,300,000 and an additional repayment contract with Reclamation of up to $12,500,000. Given this project and other foreseeable future EO&M projects, it is advisable that the Authority establish a policy that identifies the priority of the use of OM&R revenues to meet repayment commitments. Establishment of such a policy will be an asset in the Authority’s securing of loan funds and will provide certainty regarding the repayment of future financing. In addition, the policy, enacted by adoption of the attached resolution, will provide additional transparency on priority of payment of other O&M costs and additional capital improvements.

ISSUE FOR DECISION Whether the Finance & Administration Committee should recommend adoption, and the Board should adopt the Resolution Providing for the Prioritization of Use for OM&R Revenues.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff’s recommendation is for the Finance & Administration Committee to recommend, and the Board adopt, the Resolution Providing for the Prioritization of Use for OM&R Revenues.

ANALYSIS By adopting the proposed resolution, the Board would establish guidance providing for the prioritization of use for OM&R Revenues. Section 3.2 of the proposed resolution prioritizes the use of OM&R Revenues in the OM&R Revenue Fund as follows:

Memo to SLDMWA Finance & Administration Committee, Board of Directors February 2, 2020 Page 2 of 2

1. Payments with respect to Operations and Maintenance Obligations (as defined in the resolution, e.g. Reclamation repayment contract, WIFIA loan, if received) are to be paid first.

2. Operation and Maintenance Costs are to be paid so long as the Authority determines that there are sufficient OM&R Revenues to pay the Operations and Maintenance Obligations in item 1.

3. If the Authority determines that there are sufficient OM&R Revenues to satisfy both 1 and 2 above, funds can be used for activities pursuant to Section 5 of the Transfer Agreement, including but not limited to capital improvements.

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS

Although there are budget implications associated with the need for the Jones Pumping Plant

Unit Motor Rehabilitation Project there are no budget implications associated with the proposed resolution.

Costs; and

(c) So long as the Authority reasonably determines that there will be sufficient

OM&R Revenues to make the transfers in (a) and (b) above for the remainder of such Fiscal Year, for

any lawful purpose, including but not limited to Capital Improvements funded or financed by the

Authority pursuant to Section 5 of the Transfer Agreement.

Section 3.3. Additional Operation and Maintenance Obligations. The Authority may at

any time execute Operation and Maintenance Obligations payable from OM&R Revenues in

accordance with Section 3.2(a); provided:

4

(a) The OM&R Revenues for the most recent audited Fiscal Year preceding the

date of execution of such Operation and Maintenance Obligations, including adjustments to give effect

as of the first day of such Fiscal Year to increases or decreases in OM&R rates and charges approved

and in effect as of the date of calculation, as evidenced by a certificate of an Authorized Officer on file

with the Authority, shall have produced a sum equal to at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the

payments under all Operation and Maintenance Obligations for such Fiscal Year plus Operation and

Maintenance Obligations executed since the end of such Fiscal Year assuming such Operation and

Maintenance Obligations had been executed at the beginning of such Fiscal Year; and

(b) The estimated OM&R Revenues for the then current Fiscal Year and for each

of the next two Fiscal Years thereafter, as evidenced by a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the

Authority on file with the Authority, including an allowance for estimated OM&R Revenues for each

of such Fiscal Years arising from any increase in OM&R Revenues which are economically feasible

and reasonably considered necessary based on projected operations for such period, as evidenced by a

certificate of an Authorized Officer on file with the Authority, shall produce a sum equal to at least

one hundred ten percent (110%) of the estimated payments under Operation and Maintenance

Obligations for each of such Fiscal Years.

Nothing herein shall prevent the Authority from incurring obligations payable from

OM&R Revenues, the OM&R Revenue Fund and amounts on deposit in the OM&R Revenue Fund on

a basis subordinate to Operation and Maintenance Obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authority may enter into a WIFIA Loan in an

amount not to exceed $19,300,000 and an additional repayment contract with Reclamation in an

amount not to exceed $12,500,000 to finance the cost of the Jones Pumping Plant Unit Motor

Rehabilitation Project without compliance with the provisions of Section 3.3(a) and (b).

Section 3.4. Setting of OM&R Rates and Charges.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Authority will fix and prescribe rates,

fees and charges for OM&R costs at the commencement of each Fiscal Year in accordance with the

Transfer Agreement and the Friant MOU, which, together with other OM&R Revenues, are reasonably

expected to be at least sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year OM&R Revenues an amount equal

to or greater than the sum of (i) 1.10 times payments due on Operation and Maintenance Obligations

and (ii) 1.00 times other Operation and Maintenance Costs. The Authority may make adjustments

from time to time in such rates, fees and charges for OM&R Costs and may make such classification

thereof as it deems necessary, but shall not reduce the rates, fees and charges for OM&R costs then in

effect unless the OM&R Revenues from such reduced rates, fees and charges are reasonably expected

to be sufficient to meet the requirements of this section.

(b) So long as the Authority has complied with its obligations set forth in

subsection (a) above, the failure of OM&R Revenues to meet the threshold in the prior subsection (a)

shall not constitute a default or an event of default hereunder.

Section 3.5. Compliance with Transfer Agreement. The Authority will comply with,

keep, observe and perform all material provisions of agreements, conditions, covenants and terms,

express or implied, required to be performed by it contained in the Transfer Agreement. The Authority

will not terminate the Transfer Agreement so long as any Operation and Maintenance Obligation

5

remains unpaid unless the obligation is transferred to Reclamation in accordance with the Transfer

Agreement.

Section 4. Miscellaneous.

Section 4.1. Benefits of this Resolution Limited to Certain Parties. Nothing contained

herein, expressed or implied, is intended to give any person other than the Authority or the parties to

an Operation and Maintenance Obligation any right, remedy or claim under or pursuant hereto, and

any agreement or covenant required herein to be performed by or on behalf of the Authority shall be

for the sole and exclusive benefit of such other parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, parties to an

Operation and Maintenance Obligation may be designated by the Authority as a third-party beneficiary

hereunder to the extent set forth in such Operation and Maintenance Obligation.

Section 4.2. Successor is Deemed Included in all References to Predecessor. Whenever

the Authority is named or referred to herein, such reference shall be deemed to include the successor

to the powers, duties and functions that are presently vested in the Authority, and all agreements and

covenants required hereby to be performed by or on behalf of the Authority shall bind and inure to the

benefit of the successors thereof whether so expressed or not.

Section 4.3. Amendments. Except as may be otherwise provided in Operation and

Maintenance Obligations, the Authority may amend the provisions of this Resolution without the

approval of any other party.

Section 4.4. Partial Invalidity. If any one or more of the agreements or covenants or

portions thereof required hereby to be performed by or on the part of the Authority shall be contrary to

law, then such agreement or agreements, such covenant or covenants or such portions thereof shall be

null and void and shall be deemed separable from the remaining agreements and covenants or portions

thereof and shall in no way affect the validity hereof. The Authority hereby declares that it would have

adopted this Resolution, and each and every other article, section, paragraph, subdivision, sentence,

clause and phrase hereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more articles, sections, paragraphs,

subdivisions, sentences, clauses or phrases hereof or the application thereof to any person or

circumstance may be held to be unconstitutional, unenforceable or invalid.

Section 4.5. Investments. Any money held by the Authority in the OM&R Fund shall be

invested in lawful investments of Authority funds and in accordance with the Board-adopted Authority

investment policy.

Section 4.6. Repeal of Inconsistent Resolutions. Any resolution of the Authority and any

part of any resolution inconsistent herewith is hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency.

6

Section 4.7. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately.

FROM: Joyce Machado, Director of Finance


RE: Resolution Amending Signature Requirements For Central Valley Community Bank

BACKGROUND The Board of Directors has previously authorized the establishment of commercial investment, checking and savings accounts at Central Valley Community Bank (CVCB) and through Resolutions 2009-293 and 2017-415, the Board identified the signatures by which checks could be written from the Authority’s general checking and payroll accounts. One of the authorized signatures is of the Assistant Executive Director. The current Assistant Executive Director is scheduled to retire at the end of March, and the position has been replaced by the Chief Operating Officer position.

ISSUE FOR DECISION Whether the Chief Operating Officer position should replace the Assistant Executive Director as an authorized signature for signing checks.

RECOMMENDATION

We recommend the Chief Operating Officer position be included along with the Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman of the Board, Executive Director, Treasurer/Auditor, Director of Finance, and the Director of Human Resources as authorized signatures for the Authority’s general checking accounts with Central Valley Community Bank.

IMPLICATIONS If the Chief Operating Officer is not added as an additional authorized signatory, it may be difficult to obtain the required two signatures necessary to issue checks. When two signatures are not available, processing of payroll and payables are delayed.

MEMORANDUM


FROM: Seth Harris, Water Resource Coordinator


RE: Third Amendment to the Central Delta-Mendota Region Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) Services Activity Agreement and Consent of SS-MOA Participants

BACKGROUND The San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority is coordinating the development of six groundwater sustainability plans (GSPs) within the Delta-Mendota Subbasin. The Delta-Mendota Subbasin is categorized as a high-priority critically overdraft Subbasin, and was required to submit GSPs by January 31, 2020; the Subbasin’s six GSPs were successfully and timely submitted. SLDMWA also directly supports GSP development for the Northern & Central Delta-Mendota Region GSP. The governance of the GSAs within the Northern and Central Delta-Mendota Regions is established through the Northern and Central Delta-Mendota Region SGMA Services Activity Agreements and Consent of SGMA Services Memorandum of Agreement (SS-MOA) Participants. SLDMWA members and non-members that participate as groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) within the Northern and Central Delta-Mendota Regions have collaborated to develop these Activity Agreements; non-members have executed Memoranda of Agreement to participate in the Activity Agreements as SS-MOA participants. Three GSAs comprise the Central Delta-Mendota Region: Central Delta-Mendota GSA, Oro Loma Water District GSA, and Widren Water District GSA. The Central Delta-Mendota GSA is a recently formed joint powers authority (as of August 28, 2019) that consists of SLDMWA members and non-members. The agencies that comprise the Central Delta-Mendota GSA were formerly coordinating through a memorandum of agreement as the Central Delta-Mendota Region Multi-Agency GSA; the Central Delta-Mendota GSA replaced this multi-agency GSA. The objective of the participants under this Activity Agreement is to obtain coordinated access to the administrative and technical resources and services available through the Water Authority and to provide the mechanisms to share the benefits and expenses of obtaining such resources and services.


The Third Amendment of the Central Delta-Mendota Region SGMA Services Activity Agreement and Consent of SS-MOA Participants allows the members of the Central Delta-Mendota GSA to delegate voting authority on the Central Delta-Mendota Region Management Committee.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends the Board of Directors authorize execution of the Third Amendment to the Central Delta-Mendota Region SGMA Services Activity Agreement and Consent of SS-MOA Participants, contingent on ratification by the Central Delta-Mendota Region Management Committee.

ANALYSIS / DISCUSSION SLDMWA staff has supported representatives of the various Central Delta-Mendota Region GSAs since December 2015. SLDMWA has supported participating agencies and GSAs in the development of the Activity Agreements and subsequent amendments. The Central Delta-Mendota Region Activity Agreement was executed February 15, 2017, first amended November 17, 2017, and amended a second time effective November 1, 2018. The Third Amendment to the Central SGMA Services Activity Agreement includes proposed amendments to three sections within the Activity Agreement. These sections all pertain to delegating voting authority on the Central Delta-Mendota Region Management Committee. The Third Amendment was developed with input from staff and legal counsel from various agencies within the Central Delta-Mendota Region Management Committee as well as from SLDMWA. It is intended to streamline participation in the Activity Agreement for members of the Central Delta-Mendota JPA, which should also streamline administrative tasks and coordination for SLDMWA staff.

RE: Board of Directors to Consider Central Delta-Mendota Region SGMA Management Committee and Northern Delta-Mendota Region SGMA Management Committee Recommendations Regarding $265,000 Increase to FY20 Activity Agreement Budgets

BACKGROUND

The San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority is coordinating the development of six Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs) for the participating GSP Groups within the Delta-Mendota Subbasin (Subbasin). SLDMWA also directly supports GSP development for the Northern & Central Delta-Mendota Region GSP (N-C DM Region), one of the six GSP Groups. The Delta-Mendota Subbasin is categorized as a high-priority critically overdraft subbasin, so it is required to submit GSPs by January 31, 2020 and begin implementation of these GSPs starting February 1, 2020. The six Delta-Mendota GSPs were successfully submitted on January 23, 2020. Woodard & Curran is the primary consultant leading the GSP development efforts in the N-C DM Region and supports the Coordination Committee, which consists of representatives from each GSP Group in the Subbasin. The consultant services agreement and task order outlining this support expires on January 31, 2020. In order for the GSAs in the Subbasin to continue to receive needed support through the Woodard & Curran team, it is necessary to increase the Fiscal Year 2020 contract budget and extend the timing of the GSP development contract. The Northern and Central Management Committees voted to recommend approval of this budget increase and authorization for the SLDMWA Board of Directors during the January 30th Joint Northern and Central Delta-Mendota Region Management Committees meeting.

ISSUE FOR DECISION

Whether the SLDMWA Board of Directors should approve an increase to the Fiscal Year 2020 SGMA Activity Agreements budget and authorize an amendment to the consultant services

agreement with Woodard & Curran for GSP development to complete coordination work and grant management.

RECOMMENDATION

The Northern and Central Delta-Mendota Region Management Committees recommend the proposed Fiscal Year 2020 budget increase and consultant services agreement amendment.

ANALYSIS / IMPLICATIONS

The proposed contract extension and budget increase will allow Woodard & Curran to continue services to complete coordination and grant management necessary to comply with SGMA regulations in the Delta-Mendota Subbasin.

The SLDMWA Board of Directors will consider approval of this budget increase and contract amendment during the February 6th Board meeting. This Board approval will be contingent upon the Coordination Committee’s approval of the Coordinated costs during the February 10th Coordination Committee meeting.

BUDGET

The proposed budget increase can be separated into three components: support for the Northern and Central Regions, support for the Coordination Committee, and items associated with the current grant agreement. The proposed increase for the Northern & Central Delta-Mendota Region is $12,758. Tasks covered under this item include uploading monitoring site and time series data to the SGMA monitoring module as well as general communication and coordination for the Northern and Central Regions. These tasks will conclude in February 2020. The proposed increase for the Coordination Committee activities is $13,744. Tasks included in this component are coordination for the Subbasin-level Annual Report, consistent with direction received by staff from the Committee to proceed with a coordinated Annual Report. These activities will continue through submittal of the Annual Report by April 1, 2020. This Coordinated activities budget also includes activities for general communication at the Subbasin level, which will conclude in February 2020. The proposed increase for activities related to the current grant agreement is $238,557. Activities within this component are fully reimbursable by Category 1 grant funding. This budget increase will allow the Woodard & Curran team to continue its coordination role as it pertains to grant management. This budget will also cover Woodard & Curran’s sub-consultants and their respective projects: Houston Engineering, Inc’s work related to the Coordinated Data Management System and Stantec’s work related to facilitation and outreach. Activities within this component will continue through the end of May 2020.

SUBJECT FEBRUARY OPERATIONS UPDATE

DATE: JANAURY 30, 2020

Project Operations

Jones pumped at its seasonal capacity of about 4200 cfs during all of January amidst an Old and Middle river reverse flow restriction of -5000 cfs that went into effect on January 1 per the salmon BiOp. Jones pumping is scheduled to reduce by 35% by early February when delta outflow requirements increase, and exports are limited to 35% of delta inflow per D1641 standards. Under existing OMR restrictions, increased flows on the San Joaquin river will do the most to support capacity pumping during remainder of spring

Banks pumped at about 30% of its permitted capacity during January per its share of the total allowable export under the revised Coordinated Operation Agreement. SWP pumping may increase slightly in early February as part of keeping COA accounting balanced.

Accumulated precipitation for the Northern Sierra is slightly more than 50% of average for January. However, cold storms earlier in the month helped to somewhat sustain the accumulated snowpack amount of 80% of average.

Shasta storage has increased to more than 3.4 MAF; an increase of 100 TAF from last month and 300 TAF below the reservoir’s flood control curve. The current release of 5,000 cfs may decrease in February to conserve storage if dry weather persists.

Folsom storage has slipped to about 483 TAF; a reduction of 30 TAF from a month ago. Reservoir release has been relatively constant at about 2,000 cfs but may decrease to 1,750 in February to conserve storage.

CVP demands were about 96 TAF during January; about 25% above the 15-year average.

2019-20 San Luis Operations and Allocation Outlook

Since 2000, there has been only four years when CVP San Luis storage has been lower than the current storage of 565 TAF for this date. In addition to refill efforts being affected by export limits related to D1641 and the BiOps affecting, increased demands during February may also hinder refill as growers minimize the amount of water turned back to Reclamation. As shown on the attached San Luis storage projection graphs, the CVP share will fall short of filling with 90% and 50% exceedance conditions by 300 TAF and 170 TAF, respectively. Above normal hydrology with reduced demands will be needed to support enough Jones pumping to fill CVP San Luis during 2020.

2

The new BiOps for delta smelt and salmon are expected to be finalized within the next two weeks. The actions contained in the new BiOps should provide greater operational flexibility. Decisions by Project operators may, at times, lean more towards fish protection rather than water supply.

The following table contains projected allocations based on Reclamation’s most recent Project operations studies under the soon-to-be-finalized BiOps.
