A motion was made to accept the minutes as presented. MOTION: Paul Bushee SECOND: Bert Michalczyk MOTION CARRIED C.2. Demands as of January 14 & 28, February 12 & 21, 2013 The Executive Board reviewed the demands as of January 14 & 28, February 12 & 21, 2013. A motion was made to approve the demands as presented. MOTION: Paul Bushee SECOND: Bert Michalczyk MOTION CARRIED C.3. Reporting and Ratification of Claims Settlements - None D. CLOSED SESSION TO DISCUSS PENDING CLAIMS The Board entered Closed Session at 10:12 a.m. pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.95. The Board left Closed Session at 10:20 a.m., at which time it was announced that legal counsel was provided direction concerning the disposition of certain claims, however no final settlements were approved, nor was any action taken. E. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION E.1. CAJPA Registration Seth Cole reviewed this item with the Executive Board and explained that CSRMA budgets monies to send representatives to this conference annually. Executive Board members were encouraged to attend the Fall CAJPA Conference being held September 10-13, 2013 in South Lake Tahoe. Seth urged anyone interested to contact the Program Administrators for registration. Russ Baggerly added that the information presented at past CAJPA conferences was very valuable and the breakout sessions worthwhile. E.2. Policy & Procedure for Formatting Claims Summaries in Agendas P.J. Skarlanic reviewed the item with the Executive Board. In order to comply with the Brown Act, it has been CSRMA’s practice to list all open third party liability and workers compensation claims in the Agenda in order to allow the respective Committee and Executive Board members the freedom to discuss any claim that may be of interest. The Executive Board reviewed the draft Policy & Procedure at their last meeting and directed the Program Administrators to amend the claims description for third party liability claims, address privacy issues for employment practices claims and add the claimant name for workers’ compensation claims. These changes have been incorporated into the draft Policy & Procedure for the Executive Board’s approval. P.J. noted that the claims listings included in the agenda for this meeting were drafted to the guidelines presented in the current version of the Policy & Procedure.

A motion was made to approve the Policy and Procedure for Formatting Claims Summaries, as presented. MOTION: Bert Michalczyk SECOND: Jason Warner MOTION CARRIED F. OFFICER/STAFF/COMMITTEE REPORTS None. G. POOLED LIABILITY PROGRAM G.1. WorkPlace Answers – Contract Renewal Seth Cole reviewed this item with the Executive Board. WorkPlace Answers, Inc. has provided online harassment training to CSRMA members since 2007. CSRMA’s contract with Workplace Answers, Inc. will be expiring on May 1, 2013. AB1825 requires employers to provide two hours of sexual harassment training to each supervisory employee, every two years. The Program Administrators requested a renewal agreement from WorkPlace Answers, Inc. for the upcoming term. Their proposal was the same as the expiring agreement: 900 seats over a three (3) year term at a cost of $15,900 or $17.66 per seat. There was discussion on revision of certain provisions in the agreement: choice of law, mediation location and limits of liability. The Program Administrators were directed to work with Legal Counsel and Workplace Answers on the contract revisions. A motion was made directing the Program Administrators to renew the WorkPlace Answers, Inc. contract for Online Harassment Training for a three (3) year term at a cost of $15,900 with the proposed revisions in language, as noted above. MOTION: Jason Warner SECOND: Logan Olds MOTION CARRIED H. PROPERTY PROGRAM H.1. Property Program Renewal Update Dennis Mulqueeney discussed the upcoming renewal with the Executive Board. CSRMA member agencies should anticipate a 12% premium increase at renewal, exclusive of any changes in their TIV. This is a result of the firming of property insurance rates, in part a result of Super Storm Sandy, which was the second costliest hurricane in U.S. history. I. WORKERS COMPENSATION PROGRAM None.

G:\Share\CLIENT\jpa\CSRMA\Agenda\_Executive Board\2013\04.25.13\F.2 - Cash Flow Analysis Investing Additonal Funds in Longer Maturities_Final.doc

Agenda Item No. F2 Executive Board Meeting

Meeting Date: April 25, 2013

Cash Flow Analysis: Investing Additional Funds in Longer Maturities

ISSUE: The Board of Directors has authorized the Treasurer to invest up to $15 million outside of California’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) in accordance with the JPA’s Investment Policy and Procedure. That investment has grown to approximately $19 million since 2004. Recently the Finance Committee has evaluated whether the $15 million threshold should be raised to take advantage of higher interest rates currently available in investment carrying longer maturities than that which is available in LAIF. A cash flow analysis was performed to determine if CSRMA could invest additional funds in longer-term vehicles without jeopardizing the JPA’s ability to meet its cash flow needs. A copy of the analysis results is attached to this item for the Executive Board’s review. CSRMA’s average monthly portfolio balance over the past 5-years is $27 million. The cash flow analysis projects that needed liquidity will fluctuate between about $4 million and $6 million over the next two years. This assumes a 15% cushion for additional liquidity. Currently, CSRMA’s LAIF balance is $8.6 (of the $27 million), leaving in excess of $2 million in funds available for investment in longer maturities. The Finance Committee is recommending that the Executive Board recommend to the Board of Directors that an additional $2 million be invested in the PFM (CAMP) Portfolio. RECOMMENDATION: The Program Administrators will provide commentary from the Finance Committee discussion, which was favorable of further investments outside of LAIF. If after discussion, the Executive Board feels the same, it should take action to recommend further investments outside of LAIF to the Board of Directors. FISCAL IMPACT: Given the current investment environment, an increase of 50 basis points on the additional funds if invested in longer maturities could be reasonably expected in the near term. BACKGROUND: CSRMA joined CAMP in 2004 and has invested $15,000,000 in short-term (1-5 year) notes in separately-managed portfolios. PFM Asset Management LLC is the Program Administrator. Remaining funds are invested in LAIF. ATTACHMENTS: Cash Flow Analysis

Agenda Item No. F.3 Executive Board Meeting

Meeting Date: April 25, 2013

Policy & Procedure for Analyzing and Selecting Discount Rates in Establishing Claims Liabilities

ISSUE: The proposed Policy & Procedure is attached to this item for the Executive Board’s review and consideration. This Policy & Procedure incorporates the suggested edits made by the Finance Committee at the November 5, 2012 meeting, and subsequently approved for recommendation at their April 8, 2013 meeting. RECOMMENDATION: The Finance Committee is recommending that the Executive Board recommend to the Board of Directors adoption of the Policy & Procedure. FISCAL IMPACT: Unknown. BACKGROUND: As a result of discussion at the 2012 Long Range Planning Session, the Executive Board directed the Program Administrators to draft a Board policy for selecting the discount rate used in establishing the claims liabilities that will be recorded in the financial statements. Historically the Program Administrators have used a conservative view of past earnings to project future earnings to determine the appropriate discount rate used in establishing claims liabilities recorded on the financial statements. Given the current economic environment and market forecast, past performance may not be an accurate indicator for predicting future performance. In light of this, CSRMA’s financial auditor has recommended that the Board develop a policy for selecting the discount rate used in establishing the claims liabilities that will be recorded in the financial statements. Through consultation with the Authority’s financial advisor and actuary, the development of a model discount factor would provide a basis that is in concert with current and projected achievable market realities. ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Policy & Procedure for Analyzing and Selecting Discount Rates in Establishing Claims Liabilities.

CSRMA – California Sanitation Risk Management Authority

JPA Manual

JPA Program Manual

CSRMA POLICY AND PROCEDURE MEMORANDUM #6-JPA EFFECT'IVE: April 26, 2013 SUBJECT: Analyzing and Selecting Discount Rates used in Establishing Claims Liabilities

Policy Statement

Given that CSRMA’s financial condition relies substantially on estimates of the future value of current liabilities, it is incumbent upon the Authority to calculate these estimates as accurately as possible. These estimates involve discounting the liabilities to account for the time value of money, including both inflationary and investment income assumptions. CSRMA engages qualified financial professionals to assist in these calculations including, actuaries, investment advisors, financial auditors and insurance professionals, however estimates developed are ultimately the responsibility of CSRMA. A key factor in developing the estimates is the discount rate used in calculations. This policy is intended to assist the Authority in selecting the discount rate used in establishing claim liabilities that ultimately are recorded in the Authority’s financial statements.

Agenda Item No. F4 Executive Board Meeting

Meeting Date: April 25, 2013

Estimated Actual 12/13 Budget & Proposed 13/14 Budget ISSUE: Review and discuss the budget for Fiscal Year 2013/2014. RECOMMENDATION: The Finance Committee recommends that the Executive Board recommend that the Board of Directors adopt the proposed budget for the 2013-2014 fiscal year as presented with any verbal changes that may be noted at the meeting, and with the authority given to the Treasurer to make minor changes to the numbers presented if better estimates are reached prior to the commencement of the fiscal year. FISCAL IMPACT: As depicted in the draft budget document. BACKGROUND: The proposed budget is the result of a number of assumptions and the analysis of many disparate factors. Each Program of the JPA is analyzed individually with “general expenses” of the JPA allocated to each program on a percentage basis. The majority of expenses however, are program specific. The two group purchase programs (Property, PIP) are designed to “break even” each year as there is no risk sharing involved and monies generally do not need to be accrued beyond a single fiscal year. The revenue and expenses of the two pooling programs (liability & workers’ comp.) however are driven heavily by actuarial projections and the underwriting results of prior Program Years as reflected through the retrospective rating and dividend calculations. For these reasons there is not necessarily a balance between revenue and expenses in any one year. The Program Administrators have identified some items that the Executive Board may want to focus on, or review. These are described as follows: 1. Allocation percentages are used in the budget to calculate: JPA expenses, Interest

Income, Program Directors’ Fees, and Safety Expenses for each Program, as follows:

A. JPA Expenses are allocated back to each program based on the total expenses for the JPA, unless an expense item is program specific. The percentages used are 10% PIP, 10% Property, 45% Liability, and 35% Workers’ Compensation. The percentages are based on an estimate of how much time each Program takes as a percentage of overall JPA administration time.

B. Interest Income is calculated according to each program’s cash balance in

LAIF and the short term investments in CAMP as reflected in the audited financials, and are adjusted each year.

27

C. Program Directors’ Fee is program specific and is based on the annual hours worked on each program in accordance to the contract agreement between Alliant Insurance Services and CSRMA. This amount has been increased by 5% solely for the sake of argument at this juncture. The Program Administrators are directed to negotiate their contract renewal with the Officers Committee for subsequent action by the Executive Board.

Last year the Board approved a 10% reallocation of the Program Directors’ Fees between the PIP and Property Programs in the FY 12-13 Budget. The Program Administrators reported to the Executive Board last year that they believed the allocation of Program Directors’ Fees between the PIP and Property Program was out of alignment by as much as 20% - 25%, given the number of members participating in each Program and the associated Net Insurance Premium. The growth in the Property Program has outpaced the growth in the PIP Program. Therefore, the Program Administrators recommended that a portion of the Program Directors’ Fee for the PIP be allocated to the Property Program and recommended that the reallocation be phased in over 2-3 years. The Program Administrators are recommending another 10% reallocation of the Program Directors’ Fees between the PIP and Property Program to bring them in balance. This is reflected in the proposed FY 13-14 Budget.

D. Safety Expenses allocation percentages are 10% PIP, 10% Property, 35%

Liability, and 45% Workers’ Compensation unless an expense item is program specific. These percentages are based on the Risk Control Advisor’s time and resources applied to each program.

E. Other Revenue and Risk Control Online Expense are new line items to

account for revenue realized for selling access to Risk Control Online to non-members and the associated expense. The allocation percentages are 5% PIP, 5% Property, 40% Liability, and 50% Workers’ Compensation.

Continuing Risk Control Reimbursement and Infrastructure Services and NEW Proposed Risk Control Online Projects

What Why Projected Cost Notes This is for CSRMA’s subscription to SIPE’s web platform and additional programming for CSRMA-developed content in 2013/14.

The subscription fee is an annual fee for CSRMA members to have access to the CSRMA Risk Control web site, which is hosted by SIPE. The additional programming fees are necessary to account for minor programming issues that arise during the year (i.e. programming new reports suggested by members).

$25,000 (11/12= ~ $20,000)

Paid to SIPE (Arclight)

Update, manage and provide support for the CSRMA Risk Control Online. Also, provide up to six webinars on how to use the various features available on Risk control Online.

This service requires update, member training and oversight to remain useful to the membership.

$12,000 (12/13= $12,000)

Paid to ORS

Update the Contractor Safety Program Builder to address service contracts, new standard safety specifications and CalOSHA’s draft Affirmative Defense for Controlling Employers.

This will update the existing Contractor Safety Program Builder on RCO to reflect updated regulations, contracts other than construction and CalOSHA’s draft Affirmative Defense for Controlling Employers.

$10,000

(Proposed Contractors: $8k to DKF Solutions

Group and $2k in SIPE programming expense)

This feature was last updated in 2010.

Update Hazard Communication web based training module to new rules.

The new changes to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard are designed to bring the United States into alignment with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).

$2,000 (Proposed Contractors:

Paid to DKF Solutions Group)

Monitor and, if safety guidelines recommended by the CDC, OSHA or NIOSH have been developed and publicly released, develop a new online training module titled: “Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in municipal wastewater: an uncharted threat?” reflecting an 11/12 study by the University of Maryland.

Drug-resistant bacteria has made its way to wastewater treatment facilities, according to a new study from the University of Maryland. This study shows that MRSA survives in wastewater and that the WWTP may be a potential reservoir for MRSA. Published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, the findings show that methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is present at two water treatment facilities in the Midwest and two facilities in the mid-Atlantic region. "Our findings raise potential public health concerns for wastewater treatment plant workers and individuals exposed to reclaimed wastewater," study researcher Rachel Rosenberg Goldstein, a doctoral student in environmental health at the University of Maryland's School of Public Health, said in a statement. "Because of increasing use of reclaimed wastewater, further research is needed to evaluate the risk of exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria in treated wastewater."

Fiscal history: -FY 08/09 Outside Safety Consultant Budget: $225,000 -FY 09/10 Outside Safety Consultant Budget: $222,000 -FY 10/11 Outside Safety Consultant Budget: $205,000 -FY 11/12 Outside Safety Consultant Budget: $174,000 -FY 12/13 Outside Safety Consultant Budget: $188,600 -FY 13/14 Proposed Outside Safety Consultant Budget: $203,000 (Note: this represents a 7.6% increase over FY 12/13)

MRSA is of particular importance in the public health realm because it is resistant to the usual antibiotics that are used to fight staph. It's particularly common in hospitals, what is known as hospital-acquired MRSA. This training module will present the findings of the study and control strategies as being developed by the Centers for Disease Control.

Update and refresh 10 online training modules.

CSRMA’s goal is to update and refresh the look and feel of 10 out ~110 CSRMA online training modules each year in order to keep them current and maintain interest of the members.

New study highlights California tsunami risk dawn.com

LOS ANGELES:More than aquarter of amillionCalifornians livein coastal areaswhich could behit bydevastatingfloods from amajor tsunami inthe quake-proneUS state, a newstudy says.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) study, published to mark Tsunami Awareness Week, says tidal waves of eightmeters or more could hit northern California following a quake of magnitude 8 or more from a well-known tectonicfault line.

“The tragic loss of life and property damage associated with recent catastrophic tsunamis has raised globalawareness of tsunami hazards,” the report said, listing the 2004 Indian Ocean and 2011 Japan tsunamis amongothers.

“Historical and geologic evidence indicate that the California coast has experienced similar large-magnitudetsunamis (and) is susceptible to tsunamis generated by multiple sources,” including quakes far away or nearby.

The 60-page report, issued by the California Emergency Management Agency (EMA), included detailed mapsshowing the most vulnerable coastline areas, from San Diego in the south to Los Angeles and Oakland, near SanFrancisco.

Crescent City, 350 miles north of San Francisco near the Oregon border, was among the worst hit places inCalifornia from the Japan tsunami, with boats tossed on top of each other in the harbor, and one death.

In all the number of residents in so called “tsunami-inundation” zones is 267,000, while a further 169,000 work inthem – and the numbers can swell to several times that at certain times of day, for example on tourist beaches.

Tsunamis generated by an earthquake far away, as in the Japanese case, pose a relatively modest threat both becauseof the smaller scale of the waves, and the fact there is usually at least several hours’ warning.

But a far great danger could come from an earthquake generated on a well-known fault line, the Cascadia SubductionZone (CSZ), which runs more than 620 miles from northern California to Canada’s Vancouver Island, it said.

The CSZ has ruptured and created tsunamis at least seven times in the past 3,500 years, with intervals of anythingfrom 140 years to 1,000 years. The last was in 1700.

“A future CSZ-related earthquake (likely magnitude 8 or larger) would create a series of tsunami waves possibly 8meters … or higher that would inundate these communities in 15 to 20 minutes after initial ground shaking,” it said.

“Southern California communities would experience the Cascadia-related tsunamis in a far-field capacity, meaningthey would not experience the ground shaking, and waves would arrive approximately one hour later.”

Infrastructure

Could infrastructure damage drive insured losses from Superstorm Sandy higher?

Some have suggested self-insured programs on municipal property and privatized infrastructure damagedduring the October 2012 storm that hit the northeast could add to insurers’ losses.

Modeled losses from Superstorm Sandy may have undershot the mark if losses to infrastructure arefactored into the calculations, according to Meyer Shields of Stifel Nicolaus.

While infrastructure in the US is typically considered uninsured, the “advent of private toll roads has ledto some infrastructure projects that have private insurance,” according to Tom Larson, senior vicepresident of modeling firm Eqecat.

Even so, “damage to roadways has not been sufficiently extensive to cause large insured losses,”continued Larson.

A recent article in Bloomberg Businessweek also reported that in 1997, New York’s MTA formed acaptive insurer that includes US $1 billion of reinsurance after the first US $25 million in propertydamage. Damages to the city’s subway system and other transportation are expected to far exceed US$1 billion.

Despite these isolated instances of privately insured infrastructure, Robert Hartwig, president of theInsurance Information Institute, said that to his knowledge, private insurance did not exist on government-owned infrastructure damaged by Sandy.

Obesity

Could obesity be classified as a disability under the ADA?

The enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Amendments Act and increased scrutiny byfederal officials has raised concerns among legal experts that the definition of disability may beexpanded to include obesity.

Obesity in itself may not be a viable cause for litigation but rather conditions that are related to obesity,such as diabetes and high blood pressure could trigger more litigation from employees and jobapplicants.

Under the broader definition in the ADA Amendments Act, disability would also include morbid obesity,according to Robin E. Shea, a partner with law firm Constangy, Brooks & Smith LLP.

What constitutes a disability under the ADA Amendments Act has been the focus of courts and theEqual Employment Opportunity Commission, which has taken legal action against more employers.“There’s been more activity on the individual plaintiff side as well,” said Nathan Pangrace, an associatewith Roetzel & Andress LLC.

Approximately 36% of adults are considered obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control, but6.3% are considered morbidly obese.

According to Pangrace, the goal of the original act “was really to get employers to focus more onaccommodating the disabilities, rather than questioning that the employee was disabled to start with. It'sreally shifting a burden from the employee to prove that he or she is disabled to the employer toaccommodate those disabilities.”

Some legal experts fear that obesity itself could be swept into the definition of disability.

Much will depend on “...how the ADA amendments are interpreted {in case law} and how the definition ofdisability is interpreted,” according to Martha J. Zackin, a counsel at law firm Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris,Glovsky & Popeo PC, but the definition “has significantly broadened {under the amendments}, and theEEOC certainly takes the position” that obesity is a cause for legal action.

And yet, though we strain against the deadening grip

of daily necessity, I sense there is this mystery:

All life is being lived.

Who is living it then?

Is it the things themselves, or something waiting inside them, like an unplayed melody in a flute?

Is it the winds blowing over the waters?

Is it the branches that signal to each other?

Is it flowers interweaving their fragrances

or streets, as they wind through time?
