The Policy is in compliance with the sections of the California Government Code(the"Code")that govern the investment of public funds. This year, our proposed changes to the Policy reflect recent Code changes resulting from the passage of Senate Bill 998. Information on Senate Bill 998, and the resulting Code changes, and our Policy recommendations are described below. We have also included a marked-up version of the Policy with our proposed modifications. Senate Bill 998-Overview Senate Bill 998 ("SB 998"),which took effect on January 1,2021, and shall be in effect until January 1, 2026, made a number of amendments to certain sections of the Code which govern the investment of public funds. The bill was written in response to the potential impact COVID-19 may have on the California economy and the investment opportunities of California local agencies. Changes resulting from SB 998 include the following, 1. Allowing investment in securities issued or backed by the U.S. government that could result in zero or negative interest accrual if held to maturity, in the event of, and for the duration of, a period of negative market interest rates; 2. Deleting the commercial paper language regarding the issuing corporation's outstanding paper; 3. Establishing a 10% issuer limit on commercial paper and corporate notes for all agencies, other than a county or a city and county; 4. Allowing local agencies that have more than $100 million of investment assets under management to invest up to 40% in commercial paper(existing limit is 25%for all agencies, other than a county or a city and county); and 5. Adding permission for federally recognized Indian tribes to invest and participate in investment JPAs. 1 Senate Bill 998—Analysis& Recommendation Our analysis and recommendations for the District's Policy with respect to each bullet are described below: 1. We recommend that the District amend the prohibited investments language under Section IX of its Policy to reflect the fact that public agencies are now permitted to invest in zero-or negative-interest accrual securities, under certain circumstances, and provided that the securities are issued by, or backed by,the United States government. While we do not view that investment in such security types is likely,we do recommend that the District allow these types of investments in order to better align with Code and to provide maximum prudent investment flexibility. 2. With regard to bullet 2,we recommend that the District strike the Policy language related to the District's holdings of the outstanding commercial paper of a single issuer to be consistent with Code (Section VIII, subsection H). 3. With regard to bullet 3, in Section XI,the District's Policy currently includes a 10% issuer limit across all credit-sensitive security types. However,we recommend adding the language"regardless of sector"to the section to make it clear the issuer limit applies to an issuer regardless of its sector type. 4. With regard to bullet 4,we are not recommending any changes to the District's Policy as the District's assets under management are less than $100 million. 5. The change described in bullet 5 does not impact the District's Policy. Please feel free to contact us at your convenience should you have any questions or if you'd like to discuss the review further. 2 SOUTH TAHOE PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY Statement of Intent This statement of investment policy is adopted to establish an overall policy and procedures for the management and investment South Tahoe Public Utility District's funds available for investment. This policy is effective as of its adoption by the Board of Directors. It will be reviewed by the Board and readopted at least once each year. II Scope of Policy This policy covers all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the District. It does not cover funds related to funds held in a trust for retiree pension or medical benefits or District borrowing. The investments for debt issues are controlled by documents related to each debt issue. III Objectives The investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. The District's primary investment objectives, in order of priority, shall be: A Safety Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the District. Investments shall be made in a manner that first seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. And, second seeks to minimize capital losses, whether they be from securities defaults or erosion of market value. B Liquidity The investment portfolio shall be structured to provide sufficient liquidity to enable the District to meet its cash flow requirements. An adequate percentage of the portfolio should be maintained in liquid short-term securities, which can be converted to cash if necessary to meet disbursement requirements. Since all cash requirements cannot be anticipated, investments in securities with active secondary or retail markets are highly recommended. Emphasis is on marketable securities with low sensitivity to market risk. C Yield The investment program shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return on its investments consistent with the constraints imposed by its safety objective and cash flow considerations. Yield should become a consideration only after the basic requirements of safety and liquidity have been met. IV Prudence The District adheres to the guidance provided by the "prudent investor rule," which states that when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence R:IACCT\Debbie\Misc\BOARD AG ENDA ITEM S\Investment Policy 2020 Recommended Changes Marked Up REVIEW 2021.docxP:1FIN1Poiicicslinvestment Policy 2020.docx 06/1 78/202 1 0 under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Authorized individuals acting in accordance with this Policy and written procedures and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion. V Delegation of Authority The Board of Directors has delegated management responsibility for the investment program to the Chief Financial Officer, who is designated as the Investment Officer of the District. This delegation is for a one-year period. Subject to review, the Board may renew the delegation of authority each year. In the Chief Financial Officer's absence, the Accounting Manager shall act as the Investment Officer. The Chief Financial Officer shall develop and maintain administrative procedures for the operation of the investment program, consistent with this investment policy. All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust. Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. The overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. VI Internal Controls The Chief Financial Officer shall establish a system of internal controls, which shall be reviewed annually by the independent auditor. The controls shall be designed to prevent loss of public funds arising from fraud, error, misrepresentation, unanticipated market changes or imprudent actions. Controls deemed most important include: minimization of opportunities for collusion, separation of duties, separating transaction authority from accounting and record keeping, custodial safekeeping, avoidance of bearer-form securities, specific limitation regarding securities losses and remedial actions, written confirmation of all transactions, minimizing the number of authorized investment officials, documentation of transactions and strategies, and proper review and approval of brokerage accounts and investment transactions. VII Reporting The Investment Officer, or her designee, shall submit a monthly investment report to the Board of Directors. The monthly reports shall include all investments held by the District, and/or under the management of any outside party and shall include: a list of security transactions; the type of investment; issuer; date of maturity; par and dollar amount invested on all securities; current market value on all securities (including the source of this valuation); a statement that the portfolio is in compliance with this Policy or the manner in which it is not in compliance; and, a statement that the District has the ability to meet its expenditure requirements for the next 6 months or an explanation as to why sufficient money may not be available.

DISCUSSION: The District's current water and sewer capacity charge studies and associated reports were last prepared in 2006 and 2008. Two major components utilized to develop capacity charges are current, in-use infrastructure and future infrastructure needs (CIP). Both of these components have changed significantly since completion of the last studies. Also, the District's current capacity charges are fixed based on water connection size and number of sewer units needed for a project, and don't include a variable, or scalable component based on size or use of the project. Staff understands that the Board is desirous of developing a capacity charge methodology and structure which will allow for a reduced cost for smaller living units, such as multi-family and affordable housing developments while remaining equitable. Shawn Koorn with HDR Engineering has been working as the District's rate consultant for approximately ten years and has extensive experience developing service charge rates as well as capacity charge rates. Locally, Mr. Koorn has completed capacity charge studies for Tahoe-Truckee Sanatation Agency, North Tahoe Public Utility Distrct and Truckee Sanitary District. For each of these agencies, Mr. Koorn developed scalable capacity charges which included a fixed (base charge) component and a variable component, allowing for flexibility when applying the charges to different types of development. In addition to the examples noted above, Mr. Koorn has completed capacity charge studies for many other California agencies. Included in HDR's Proposal to develop the capacity charge studies and reports for the District are several meetings with District staff to insure complete understanding throughout the process, and three in person public presentations during Board meetings to insure complete transparency to the Board and public, including the development community. The project from beginning to end is expected to take approximately six months to complete. 66 Paul Hughes June 17,2021 Page 2 District staff recommends approval of the Proposal from HDR Engineering to prepare water and sewer capacity charge studies in an amount not to exceed $32,625. SCHEDULE: Approximately six months COSTS: $32,625 ACCOUNT NO: 10/2039-4440 BUDGETED AMOUNT AVAILABLE: Unbudgeted item - Will utilize contingencies or possible savings from other budget line items. ATTACHMENTS: HDR Proposal CONCURRENCE WITH REQUESTED ACTION: CATEGORY: Sewer/Water GENERAL MANAGER: YES 7- NO CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER: YES NO 67 FY June 1, 2021 Mr. Paul Hughes Chief Financial Officer South Tahoe Public Utility District 1275 Meadow Crest Drive South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 Subject: Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study Dear Mr. Hughes: The South Tahoe Public Utility District (District) requested technical and professional assistance from HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) to update the District's water and sewer capacity charges. Over the last ten years HDR has assisted the District in the development of cost-based water and sewer rates. This provides HDR with a unique understanding of the District's data and information and approach to establishing cost-based rates and fees. A key element of the District's overall funding approach is the use of capacity charges to maintain equity between existing and new customers and the financing of capacity related projects for the water and sewer utilities. The District's capital plan, planning documents, and planned development are key inputs into this process. Another element of this study is reviewing, and updating as necessary, the District's approach to implementing capacity charges for accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The State of California has recently updated the requirements of how ADUs are charged capacity charges and this study will assist the District in evaluating the appropriate approach moving forward. Finally, an important element of this study will be working with the development community in a positive and effective manner. HDR is highly qualified to perform this work for the District based on our technical skills and experience in this specialized area of expertise. The proposed project manager, Shawn Koorn, has assisted the District since 2011 in the development of water and sewer rates. HDR is very effective in communicating and working with the District Board and development community to outline the key policy issues and approaches to establishing cost-based capacity charges. We appreciate this opportunity to submit our proposal to the District. We look forward to discussing our proposal with you. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Shawn Koorn at (425)450-6366 or at shawn.koorn@hdrinc.com. Sincerely, HDR Engineering, Inc. 4VA/"- Holly L.L. Kennedy, PE Shawn W.

Overview of HDR Engineering 1 .1 Introduction HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) is a well-established and highly respected firm with technical and professional expertise in a variety of areas, including rate and fee setting. Formed in 1917, HDR provides engineering and consulting services and scientific studies to clients across the U.S. and abroad. HDR is a national firm with approximately 10,000 employees in 225 offices worldwide providing architectural and engineering services. HDR's engineering group is subdivided into three regions, of which our Folsom office is in the Western region. Each local office is managed by a Department Manager with the authority to enter into agreements with our clients. In total, HDR has 14 offices in California. HDR has a Utility Rates and Finance Group, consisting of financial analyst, accountants, and economists who have attained a national reputation in the areas of financial planning, utility rates and fees. Each study is led by a project manager who has extensive experience in utility financial planning and rates. To provide a successful study, our project teams are staffed with dedicated utility financial/rate analysts. Finally, we leverage our local office personnel to provide engineering and planning expertise to our study, given that financial/rate studies are a blend of financial/rate expertise and engineering/planning expertise. HDR combines innovation with practical, cost-effective solutions which are tailored to the needs of each client. 1 .2 HDR's Qualifications and Relevant Experience As noted above, HDR has an established Utility Rates and Finance Group to specifically address the issues of comprehensive planning, asset management, and rate and fee studies. HDR provides these services to water, wastewater, recycled water, stormwater, solid waste, and electric utilities. Lead by nationally recognized experts, it is not surprising that HDR has attained a national reputation in the area of financial planning, rates and fee studies and a more detailed discussion will demonstrate why we can make this claim. The District desires to retain a qualified professional rate consultant experienced in municipal utility financial planning, rate setting and connection fees. HDR's qualifications and experience are well-matched to the District's needs. These are: ► California and Local Rate Setting Experience Rate setting in California poses unique legal requirements and challenges. For many years, HDR has worked extensively in California on rate and fee issues and, as a result of our expertise in this area, we have always successfully navigated the legal rate and fee setting environment. Each utility is unique and as a result, they must be independently analyzed. ► California Municipal Rate and Fee Clients HDR has worked extensively and successfully with a number of California water and wastewater utilities. Among our more prominent California rate and fee clients are the cities of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Folsom, Stockton, Woodland, Santa Maria, and Santa Cruz. In addition to our prior work with the District, we have also worked extensively in the Lake Tahoe Basin with the Tahoe District PUD, North Tahoe PUD, Page 1 70 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study FN 1.Overview of HDR Engineering Truckee Sanitary District, Truckee Donner PUD, Olympic Valley PSD, Tahoe-Truckee Sanitation Agency, Alpine Springs County Water District, and Northstar CSD in addition to many other special purpose districts throughout California. ► Track Record of Quality Project Delivery, On-Time and Within Budget HDR has a very strong record for quality work products, which are on-time and within budget. Our prior work with the District provides the best proof of our ability to deliver a quality study. ► Excellent Communication Skills Ultimately, the success of all rate and fee studies hinges on the ability to convey complex and detailed information to the governing body in order to gain support for the study's recommendations. A study with a strong technical analysis may fail due to the inability of the consultant to explain the study's findings, conclusions, and recommendations in a clear and understandable manner. HDR believes communication is the key attribute which sets us apart. As nationally recognized experts, HDR project team members teach a number of courses and workshops on the subjects of financial planning, revenue requirements, cost of service, rates, and connection fees. In particular, HDR's proposed Project Manager, Principles of mat® Shawn Koorn, is a co-instructor for the 3-day AWWA Seminar, Rates,Fees,and Charges Rate Setting Essentials, which is dedicated to the issues of the Seventh Tilton theory and methodologies associated with utility financial planning, cost of service, rates, and connection (capacity)fees. The ability to communicate and explain complex ideas, principles, and ideas in easy to understand terms is what makes these seminars and our I, public presentations so successful. In addition, HDR staff have been active in developing publications and manuals in this area of expertise, such as the AWWA M-1 manual. In addition to the above attributes, HDR also brings to the District the following additional attributes: ► Practical Work Experience within Utilities HDR personnel have been involved in every facet of actual utility operations. Prior to consulting, many of our employees have spent considerable time working for a utility or regulatory agency. This understanding of the day-to-day workings of a utility is invaluable in attempting to work with clients and manage projects in an efficient and cost-effective manner. We understand the challenges of limited time and budgets and, therefore, work with our clients to provide the most efficient and cost-effective solutions. Having said that, HDR does not cut corners or scrimp to conduct our studies. HDR understands that all of our studies must be comprehensive in nature and legally defendable. ► Breadth of Consulting Services Provided by the Project Team HDR, by virtue of being a multi-disciplinary engineering and consulting firm has a number of individuals with highly specialized expertise, such as financial planning and rates and fees. While one of the areas that HDR does specialize in is financial planning, cost of service and rates/fees, HDR does not lose sight of the overall need for good utility management and engineering practices. When necessary, HDR can draw on the other areas of expertise that Page 2 71 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study FN 1.Overview of HDR Engineering are contained in the firm. HDR has experts available in every area of utility operations and management, including master planning and asset management. ► Depth of Experience in Rate and Fee Related Issues/Projects HDR personnel have performed hundreds of water and sewer capacity charge studies throughout California and the U.S. By virtue of working with a wide variety of utilities (large and small) and in a variety of locations, we have an intimate understanding of the trends and practices occurring in the industry. Our experience and knowledge of the industry and current practices brings great creditability to our analyses and resulting recommendations. This diversity simply adds breadth of knowledge and expertise to all of our projects. As can be seen, our combination of knowledge and experience make us highly qualified in the area of cost of service rate setting and capacity charge studies. However, HDR believes that the best way to understand the quality of services provided by HDR is to talk to our clients. 1.3 Summary This section of our proposal has provided a brief overview of HDR and our qualifications to conduct the District's capacity charge study. The next section of our proposal will provide a discussion and overview of our proposed project team organization and each specific team member.

HDR has proposed a project team composed of both nationally recognized rate experts and local engineers knowledgeable in the District's system. Page 6 75 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study FN 3. Proposed Scope of Services 3. Proposed Scope of Services 3.1 Introduction Given our understanding of the District's requested services, HDR has developed a detailed project approach (i.e., scope of services), by major task, for the District's study. For each task, HDR has provided a summary of the task. For those interested in the more technical details of a specific proposed task, a brief discussion of the general approach and key issues is provided. Within our detailed scope of work, unless noted otherwise, the scope of services and project approach for the water utility is identical to the sewer utility. 3.2 Proposed Scope of Services In reviewing the scope of services, it is important to note that at the time of the development of this proposal, certain COVID restrictions and mandates are in place. How long these restrictions and mandates may be required, or how they may impact the delivery of this study, is unknown. Given that, it is presumed that HDR and the District may need to be flexible in terms of meetings (in-person versus virtual/video conference). Ideally, HDR believes face-to-face meetings are the most effective, but recognizes we all must safely navigate through the current pandemic. Provided below are the proposed tasks for the water and sewer capacity charge study. HDR has developed this scope of services based upon our understanding of the District's current needs and HDR is certainly willing to modify and adjust our project approach (scope of services) to meet the specific goals and objectives of the District. Task 1 — Initial Project Meeting Task Objective: Bring the HDR project team, and District management and staff together, at the start of the project, to allow both parties to have a mutual understanding of the goals, objectives, issues and concerns related to the study. Review the scope of work, project time schedule, and initial data request. Task Approach: • Schedule a virtual initial project meeting. Expected District Staff Support for Task 1: • Have key management/project team members attend a 2-hour planning meeting. • Confirmation of the District's goals and objectives for the study. Deliverables as a Result of Task 1: • Identification of objectives, issues and concerns by both parties. • Virtual project meeting to get the study off to a positive start. Key Issues Associated With Task 1: The initial project meeting is important to the overall success of the study since it provides a key foundation for the capacity charge study process (project team coordination). This meeting allows both parties to discuss in detail the overall goals and objectives for the water and sewer capacity charge study, while at the same time discussing any issues and concerns that either party may have. It is proposed that the initial project meeting be approximately 2 hours in length, and held virtually given the relationship and familiarity between the District and HDR. Page 7 76 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study FN 3. Proposed Scope of Services Task 2 - Data Collection and Review Task Objective: Provide a written data request detailing the data and information necessary to complete the study. Reivew and provide feedback to the District on any outstanding data constraints. Task Approach: • Provide a detailed written data request to the District identifying the data and information necessary to complete the study for utility. • Identify any problem areas and quickly resolve. Expected District Staff Support for Task 2: • Gather the data requested in the written data request provided by HDR. Deliverables as a Result of Task 2: • An initial written data request to the District and identification of any data constraints. Key Issues Associated With Task 2: HDR will provide a written data request to the District prior to the initial project meeting so that it can be discussed at the meeting and any problem areas quickly resolved. The data and information requested for this study should be, for the most part, readily available information (financial, statistical, planning, etc.). HDR will review the data and information and contact the District with any questions or clarifications. Task 3- Review of the Existing Capacity Charge Methodology Task Objective: Review and evaluate the District's most recent capacity charge studies to gain an understanding of the general methodology utilized. Consider the District's current issues and concerns and either validate the existing methodology or recommend modifications and changes to the methodology to update the charges. Task Approach: • Review the current capacity charge methodology. • As appropriate discuss and recommend alternative methodologies. • Review water and sewer planning documents and capital improvement plans. Expected District Staff Support for Task 3: • Provide a copy of the District's most recent capacity charge studies, planning documents, and current long-term CIP documents, etc. • Provide HDR with an undestanding of any concerns or issues with the current methodology. • Attend a one-hour virtual project meeting to discuss the finding of the review of the methodology. Deliverables as a Result of Task 3: • A technical review of the District's current water and sewer capacity charge methodology. • As appropriate, validation of the existing methodlyg, or the discussion of alternative methodologies. • A one hour virtual project meeting to review and discuss the approach and methodology for the proposed capacity charges. Key Issues Associated With Task 3: As a part of our review, HDR will consider generally accepted methodologies in the context of the District's current capacity charges. There are different methodologies which may be used to calculate a capacity charge, and it is the application of the appropriate methodology to the current District conditions which is the focus of this task. At the same time, within each methodology there is the issue of the appropriate valuation of the assets within the methodology. In part, the methodology selected is dependent upon available capacity (buy-in method, incremental (future) method or the combined method). Page 8 77 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study FN 3. Proposed Scope of Services HDR will work with District management to review these methodologies and update the analysis as appropriate. A key question in this review is the method used to assess the fees and the methodology should provide the appropriate units for assessing the fees (e.g., meter capacity, equivalent units, etc.). HDR does not anticipate any major changes to the overall methodology of valuing the capacity charge, but the issue of how the capacity of a new customer is determined and assessed is certainly an open issue, in regards to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and California State requirements, and is discussed in more detail in Task 5. Task 4— Update the Water and Sewer Capacity Charges Task Objective: Utilizing the results of Task 3, update and develop cost-based water and sewer capacity charges. Task Approach: • Review the most recent master and/or comprehensive plans for each utility. • Utilize the District's current long-term capital plan and review the proportion of future projects related to growth or expansion of the utilities. • Review the definition of an equivalent unit for each utility. • Evaluate the any credits so that customers don't pay twice, once through the capacity charge and again through rates. Expected District Staff Support for Task 4: • Provide "as needed" assistance to clarify the District's data and information during the development of the analysis. • Work collaboratively with HDR in the review of growth assumptions, definition of an equivalent unit, capital allocable to growth (expansion), and other key study assumptions • Participate in a conference calls and virtual project meetings review the draft, and draft final, analyses. Deliverables as a Result of Task 4: • Development of cost-based water and sewer capacity charges. • Development of a definition of an equivalent unit. • Up to two, two hour, virtual project meetings to review and discuss the development of the water and sewer capacity charges. • An electronic copy (PDF and Excel) of the capacity charge analyses. Key Issues Associated With Task 4: From the results of the prior task, HDR and the District will have refreshed their understanding of the methodology to be used for the update of the District's capacity charges, and the approach and methodology for this study. A capacity charge is typically established based upon the value of each utility's capacity and the amount of capacity needed to serve the new customer. The objective of these charges is to bring equity between existing and new customers. The development of cost-based capacity charges is also important from the perspective of the overall financial stability of the utilities. Capacity revenue is used to finance growth-related infrastructure, or growth-related debt service. As a general philosophy, most utilities prefer to have "growth pay for growth." This statement implies the development and implementation of cost-based capacity charges. In developing these charges, it is important to create a "nexus" or connection between new development and the new or expanded facilities required to accommodate such development. This establishes the rational basis of public policy, while, at the same time, reflecting the legal requirements as outlined in Government Code Section 66013. To meet this requirement HDR will use the planning and Page 9 78 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study FN 3. Proposed Scope of Services design criteria within the District's planning documents (e.g. comprehensive or master plans) for each utility to determine the facilities necessary to provide a new unit of service, stated in terms of an equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). There are a number of different methodologies which may be used to establish capacity charges.' The key issue from the perspective of this study is to have a solid foundational understanding of these different methodologies (which HDR does) and then appropriately apply the methodologies based upon the specific circumstances of the District's water and sewer utilities (e.g., available excess capacity, no excess capacity/expansion needed). This task will develop "It is important to create a the capacity charges using current costs, or the "nexus"or connection value of a unit of capacity, and the appropriate methodology which best reflects the water and between new development sewer utility's current condition and situation. and the new or expanded Specifically, HDR will update the District's facilities required to connection fees using District asset records, CIP, accommodate such and financing data to determine a cost-based water development. This and sewer capacity charges. The charge is establishes the rational basis generally calculated on a component-by-component basis. That is, the charge for water includes supply of public policy." and treatment, storage, distribution and transmission, and general plant. For sewer, it includes treatment, collection, and general plant as the plant components. Once each component is determined, all components are combined, resulting in the total capacity charge per EDU. As a part of the study process, HDR will review any associated credits required to be given to new development to assure that customers do not"pay twice"; that is, once through rates (paying debt service) and once through the capacity charge. This study will include a review of any outstanding debt issues which are paid via rates, and accounting for any grant funded assets or developer contributed facilities. At this point, the net draft capacity charge for each utility will be calculated. Customers with larger meters or requiring more service than one EDU are then charged accordingly, applying industry standard capacity weighting factors for meter size equivalencies or by determining the number of EDUs served, and charging accordingly [note: this aspect of the administration of capacity charges is addressed in more detail in Task 5). The draft capacity charges for each utility will be reviewed with District staff at two virtual project meetings and finalized based on the District's project team feedback and input. 1 For example, there are at least four different methods to value the District's assets. There are also three different methods for calculating capacity charges; the buy-in methodology, incremental methodology, and the combined methodology. Page 10 79 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study FN 3. Proposed Scope of Services Task 5- Review of the Administration and Implementation of Charges Task Objective: Using the results of the prior task, review the methods the District uses to administer the current charges to provide equitable and cost-based fees to all customers. Task Approach: • Review the current administration and implementation of the capacity charges. Expected District Staff Support for Task 5: • Discuss with HDR the current approach to administering and implemetning the water and sewer capacity charge. • Attend a two hour virtual project meeting to discuss the administration and implementation of the capacity charges. Deliverables as a Result of Task 5: • Using the definition of an equivalent unit in Task 4, develop a recommended implementation approach. • Review of implemetnation methodologies that provide a scaled, or other alternatives, that provide "affordable" capacity charges for various residential customers. • Review the implementation of the appraoch for accessory dwelling units (ADUs). • A two hour virtual project meeting. Key Issues Associated With Task 5: While the calculation of the capacity charges are a major milestone for the study, another important aspect of the study is the appropriate and equitable application of the fees. While the fees provide a fee stated in a $/EDU, it often poses challenges to the utility staff in the appropriate and equitable application of the fees. One of the areas to review, is the application of fees for accessory dwelling units (ADUs). California has specific legislation in place for ADUs. This study will reflect the current environment and approach to establishing capacity charges for ADUs. Another current issue is the "scaling" of capacity charges that provides an "affordable" capacity charge to residential units. HDR has recently completed several studies in the Tahoe Basin using a scalable approach. Finally, from an overall implementation approach, for a water utility, meter capacity is a common approach of implementing the charges. For sewer, it is generally a definition of an equivalent unit. This study will review alternative methods for assessing the capacity charges for the District's customers while taking into account the legal requirements and District and community goals. As this task progresses, a two hour virtual project meeting will be held to review and discuss the administrative and implementation approach. Page 11 80 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study FN 3. Proposed Scope of Services Task 6— Development of the Final Capacity Charges Task Objective: Develop the final cost-based water and sewer capacity charges. Task Approach: • Incorporate and update the draft capacity charge analyses to reflect the final recommendations. Expected District Staff Support for Task 6: • Provide input and review of the final capacity charge analyses. • Attend a two hour virtual project meeting. Deliverables as a Result of Task 6: • Final water and sewer capacity charge analyses. • Two hour virtual project meeting to review the final analyses. Key Issues Associated With Task 6: Based on the prior tasks, this task will develop the final cost-based water and sewer capacity charges. HDR will incorporate the discussions and input from the prior tasks to develop the final analyses. A two hour virtual project meeting will be held to review and discuss the final capacity charge analyses. Task 7 — Written Documentation Task Objective: Provide a written report to summarize the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the water and sewer capacity charge analysis. Task Approach: • Develop the draft report for review and comment by the District. • Incorporate any changes or comments from the draft into a draft final report. • After District Board adoption or implementation develop the final written report. Expected District Staff Support for Task 7: • Review and comment on the draft written report. Deliverables as a Result of Task 7: • An electronic version (e.g., Mircrosft Word) of the draft, and final, written report. Key Issues Associated With Task 7: Upon completion of the technical analyses, HDR will develop a draft of the written report for the District for District review and comment. Based upon District staff, and District legal counsel, feedback, HDR will develop a draft final report. The draft final report will be presented to District Board. After the adoption, or implementation, of the water and sewer capacity charges, HDR will provide the District with a final written report in electronic format which will document the public process and Board direction. HDR's written reports are intended to be comprehensive in nature and document the activities undertaken as a part of the project, along with our findings, conclusions, and recommendations. Attached to the report will be the exhibits developed as a part of the study. This provides complete documentation and an administrative record of the District's water and sewer capacity charge study. Page 12 81 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study FN 3. Proposed Scope of Services Task 8 — Public Meetings/Presentations Task Objective: Provide effective public presentations of the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the study to the District Board and the public. Task Approach: • Develop presentation materials for three (3) meetings with the District Board. • Shawn Koorn, the HDR Project Manager, will attend all public meetings/presentations2. Expected District Staff Support for Task 8: • Review and comment on any proposed handouts for public meetings. Deliverables as a Result of Task 8: • Three (3) public presentations to present the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the capacity charge study. Key Issues Associated with Task 8: The overall quality and value of a capacity charge study is often measured by the quality of the public presentation process. HDR excels at this aspect of the study and our ability to clearly communicate while highlighting the key study issues and policy-related issues has allowed HDR to successfully assist utilities through the capacity charge setting process. Capacity charges primarily impact the development community. Given that, it is important to keep the development community aware and informed of the capacity charge study, and to allow for adequate input and feedback. To that end, HDR has included up to three public meetings or presentations as part of the study. The HDR project manager will attend and present at these public meetings/presentations. If additional public meetings are required or desired, they can be provided on a time and materials basis. Task 9 — Capacity Charge Models Task Objective: Provide a copy of the computer models developed as a part of this water and sewer capacity charge study. Task Approach: • Develop a water and sewer capacity charge model using Microsoft Excel. Expected District Staff Support for Task 9: • None required. Deliverables as a Result of Task 9: • A copy of the computer spreadsheet model(s) used to develop the District's water and sewer capacity charge study. Key Issues Associated With Task 9: The development of the water and sewer capacity charge analyses will require the development of an Excel model. The model will be specifically developed for the District and provide the flexibility to consider different valuation methods (original cost, original cost less depreciation, replacement cost, replacement cost less depreciation). The model will also be detailed by plant component (e.g., supply, treatment, transmission, distribution storage, mains)to allow for the inclusion or exclusion of costs within 2 Depending upon COVID restrictions at the time of the public meetings, HDR's public presentations may need to be virtual or video conference. Page 13 82 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study Fn 3. Proposed Scope of Services the methodology. Finally, if applicable, the model will be segregated between the buy-in component (existing assets) and future (incremental) assets. At the conclusion of the study, HDR will provide an electronic version (copy) of the model. As a part of this scope of services, HDR has not included the need for a user manual or training session. Task 10 - Project Administration/ Quality Control Task Objective: Provide effective project management and administration of the study. Provide a quality control review and evaluation of the study and all technical analyses. Task Approach: • HDR Project Manager is responsible for project administration and technical analysis. • HDR QA/QC procedures and documentation to be used for quality control. HDR Project Manager is responsible for meeting and fulfilling all QC requirements. Expected District Staff Support for Task 10: • District's PM work closely with HDR's PM to internally coordinate the study and address any issues. Deliverables as a Result of Task 10: • Project administration — HDR PM provides routine updates to the District's PM on the status of the study. • QA/QC review process provided for the study and technical analyses. Key sues Associated With Task 10: HDR's Project Manager is responsible for the overall quality of the study and meeting the expectations of our clients. Our successful projects are accomplished through our PM's close coordination and communication with the District's PM. HDR has a specific and detailed QA/QC process for all of our projects. This study will be reviewed using HDR's company-wide Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Program. All QA/QC processes and reviews are internally documented. HDR's QA/QC process focuses on prevention rather than detection and being proactive rather than reactive. ForEIP — 4 the District's study, Tom Gould, will • 41111 provide the overall quality control.

Page 14 83 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study FN 3. Proposed Scope of Services 3.3 Keys to a Successful Study Both HDR and the District desire project success. To that end, HDR has identified the following areas as the keys to success for this study. Project Team Coordination — For a capacity charge study to be successful, HDR and the District must work together closely and collaboratively. This will be achieved through close communication and a number of project meetings during the course of the study to keep the District informed of the status of the study and any project issues. Long-Term Sustainable Funding —A well-managed utility is constantly looking ahead and develops a path (i.e., a financial plan) to adequate, long-term sustainable funding for O&M and capital infrastructure funding. The capacity charge study will provide a key component to the District's overall capital funding plan to meet the infrastructure needs of new growth and expansion on the water and sewer systems. Implementation — One of the challenges of establishing cost-based capacity charges is the implementation approach to maintain equity between customers. A well-thought-out impregnation approach will outline the key policy issues and provide the basis to maintain equity between customers and promote the District's growth related goals and objectives. District Board/Public Acceptance — Ultimately, the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the study need to be accepted and adopted by the District Board and the development community. A sound strategy for public presentations which focuses on the key policy issues and communicating in a clear and easy to understand manner will provide significant value to the District. On-Time Completion, Within Budget—Allocation of adequate resources, skilled project management and effective project management controls (tools) will provide the foundation for the successful completion of the study; on-time and within budget. 3.4 Summary This section of HDR's proposal has provided our proposed project approach. HDR's approach is unique in that our analyses are tailored to the specific and unique characteristics and facilities of the District's water and sewer systems. Page 15 84 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study FN 4. Project Time Schedule 4. Project Time Schedule 4.1 Introduction The previous section of the proposal provided a detailed discussion of the proposed scope of services for the District's water and sewer capacity charge study. This section of the proposal will provide a proposed project time schedule, by project task. 4.2 Project Time Schedule A study of this complexity generally requires four to six months to complete, depending upon a number of factors. These factors include the amount of time required by the District to collect the necessary data, the quality of the data provided, the complexity of the issues to be addressed, the ability to schedule meetings with District staff in a timely manner. More importantly, in addition to those factors, the project will require timely feedback and policy direction from the District Board. Based on the scope of services developed in the previous section, HDR developed the following proposed project time schedule, delineated by task. Month 1 Month 2 Month 3 Month 4 Month 5 Month 6 Task 1 Initial Project Meeting • Task 2 Data Collection and Review Task 3 Review of the Existing Methodology I Task 4 Update Capacity Charges Task 5 Charge Implementation Task 6 Final Capacity Charge I Task 7 Written Documentation Task 8 Public Presentations F • Task 9 Computer Models Task 10 Administration/QC Virtual Project Meeting Public Presentation As the capacity charge study progresses, HDR has assumed a number of virtual project meetings to review the technical analyses and gain feedback from District staff and public presentations to the District Board to gain policy level direction and implementation of the capacity charges. 4.3 y This section of the proposal has provided a proposed project time schedule based upon the scope of services discussed in Section 3. If needed, HDR is willing to work with the District to modify our proposed project time schedule to meet the District's schedule. Page 16 85 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study Fn 5.Project Examples 5. Project Examples 5.1 Introduction HDR believes the best demonstration of our knowledge, experience, and skills is provided by our past capacity charge (connection fee) studies with other water and sewer utilities. While no two projects are ever the same, HDR believes the following list of projects and clients demonstrates our ability to successfully complete the District's study. 5.2 Project Examples Provided below are descriptions of similar projects recently completed by HDR. TAHOE-TRUCKEE SANITATION AGENCY —SEWER CONNECTION FEE STUDY In 2019, HDR completed a sewer connection (capacity) fee study for the Tahoe-Truckee Sanitation Agency (TTSA). TTSA provides regional treatment to the agencies in the North Lake Tahoe Area. The study methodology reflected the capacity available in the regional treatment system. As part of the study, the Board requested a scalable fee based on square footage of the residential home, commercial fees are based on the type of business and estimated flow rates. TTSA reviewed several alternative approaches as part of the study. For the scalable fee, TTSA provided a baseline of the average residential home in the Truckee area. The calculated fee included a base minimum charge and a square footage charge. The TTSA Board evaluated several minimum charge levels as part of the study. The study alternatives and approaches were presented to the Board at several regularly scheduled Board meetings. A final written report was provided to TTSA to document the study. NORTH TAHOE PUD—WATER AND SEWER RATE AND CONNECTION FEE STUDY HDR completed a water and sewer rate and connection (capacity) fee study for the PUD in late 2019. As part of the study, the current connection fee methodology was reviewed and it was determined that the approach be revised to better reflect the PUD's current capacity levels and value of capacity. As part of the study, the PUD also requested the review of an alternative approach based on the scalable methodology implemented by TTSA. HDR worked with PUD staff to develop an approach and presented the alternatives to the Board for consideration. At the completion of the study, the final recommendations were presented to the Board and public for review and comment. A final report was developed and provided to the PUD at the completion of the study. TRUCKEE SANITARY DISTRICT—SEWER CONNECTION FEE STUDY HDR recently (early 2021) completed a sewer connection (capacity) fee study for the District. The District approach had not been updated in many years. Given this, and the recent completion of several planning documents, the District requested the fee approach and level be evaluated. The study calculated a cost-based connection fee based on the value of the capacity available in the District's sewer collection system. Similar to TTSA, the District also requested the development of a scalable approach. HDR developed several alternative approaches for Board consideration. At the completion of the study, the final recommended approach was presented to the Board for implementation along with a final written report. Page 17 86 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study Fn 5.Project Examples In addition to the above project examples, HDR recently completed capacity fee studies for the following California agencies: • Olympic Valley PSD • City of Folsom • City of San Luis Obispo • City of Santa Barbara • Dublin San Ramon Services District • City of Stockton ■ Sweetwater Authority ' Big Bear Area Regional Wastewater Agency As can be seen, HDR has recently assisted several California water and sewer agencies through the development of capacity fees and is well qualified to complete the District's study .,umma y The above project examples provide insight into HDR's ability to successfully complete the District's water and sewer capacity charge study. In addition to the above examples, HDR has also provided capacity charge studies to utilities across the U.S. and Canada Page 18 87 South Tahoe PUD I Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Study EN 6.Cost Estimate 6. Cost Estimate 6.1 Introduction This section of the proposal discusses HDR's project fee estimate to conduct the District's water and sewer capacity charge study. The cost estimate is based upon the scope of services, as described in Section 4. 6.2 Fee Schedule — Hourly Billing Rates The estimated project fees were developed based upon the previously discussed scope of services. For each task, the labor hours, by individual, was developed. The total labor hours were then applied to the current hourly billing rates for each individual. For the proposed study, the following hourly billing rates were used to establish the proposed fees for this portion of the study. These rates will be in effect through the course of the study (through 2021). Individual Project Role 2021 Hourly Rate Shawn Koorn Project Manager $290.00/hour Judy Dean Senior Financial/Rate Analyst $210.00/hour Tom Hoffman, PE Engineering Assistance $210.00/hour Others Project Administrative/Clerical Support $135.00/hour The billing rates shown above cover payroll cost, employee benefits, and HDR overhead and profit.

HDR is willing to negotiate a final fee for the study based on a final scope of services. HDR is willing to enter into a "not to exceed" cost of$32,625.00 for scope of services outlined in this proposal. Should the District request additional services under this contract, the services will be provided at the hourly billing rates noted above. Portions of this fee proposal can be expanded or reduced in conformance with scope adjustments and as mutually agreed upon in writing by the District and HDR. Given the uncertainty with the COVID pandemic, and how it has impacted travel and in-person meetings and presentations, for budgeting purposes travel related costs have been included for the public presentations/meetings. Should travel not occur and virtual meetings be used, HDR will not bill the District for those budgeted travel costs. 6.4 Proposed Method of Payment HDR proposes that fees be billed monthly on a time-and-material basis in accordance with the unit prices described in the above price proposal. While our services will be billed on a time and material basis, HDR has offered to enter into a "not to exceed" agreement for these services. 6.5 Summary This section of HDR's proposal has reviewed the project cost estimate for the proposed scope of services for the District's water and sewer capacity charge study. 89 Page 20 General Manager John Thiel Directors $eql$t ' 1950 • water.

DISCUSSION: On May 6, 2021, the Board authorized staff to advertise for bids for repairs to the interior and exterior coating systems of four remote water tanks and two wastewater tanks located at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. This work is part of the District's newly developed Tanks Asset Management Program, in which tanks will be taken out of service on a five-year cycle for a dry inspection, general maintenance and coatings repairs. The plan for this contract is to touchup one to three tanks in 2021 and the remainder in 2022; only one water tank will be taken out of service at a time. Work will be restricted to the summer months to minimize the need for temperature controls. This Project is not included in the Fiscal Year 2021/22 budget, but staff believes this Project to be a priority to prevent further degradation of these important District assets. The bid opportunity was advertised on May 11, 2021 . On June 3, 2021, the District received four bids, ranging in value from $158,300 to $330,300. The District's estimate for this work is $154,000. A tabulation of the bids received is attached with a breakdown by site. It is important to note that the work was bid on a unit price basis for work performed, rather than lump sum, to account for the inherent unknowns associated with this type of repair work. For bidding, the repair needs were defined based on the reports from the most recent tank inspections, which were performed one to four years ago; the actual repair needs may be greater than was identified in past reports. In any case, the actual cost of repair will vary from the amount bid. 93 Julie Ryan Page 2 June 17,2021 Top Line Engineers, Inc., (Top Line) was the apparent lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Staff has reviewed the bids for conformance with bidding requirements. Staff has performed a review of the three lowest bids received; the results of the bid review are attached with only minor irregularities. Staff recommends that the Board of Directors waive the minor irregularities in Top Line's bid as they do not provide Top Line with a competitive advantage over the other bidders. Additional costs associated with this work that was not included in this contract will include the purchase and installation of passive cathodic protection at four tanks, engineering services during construction for anode specification and coatings inspections, and the cost of incidental tank repairs by District staff. SCHEDULE: As soon as possible COSTS: $48,600 (TNKSWR); $109,700 (TNKWTR) ACCOUNT NO: 1030-/TNKSWR; 2030-/TNKWTR BUDGETED AMOUNT AVAILABLE: Unbudgeted item -will be funded with contingencies or budget savings throughout the year.

The system, which includes three wells, is experiencing water supply challenges due to PCE contamination and increasing uranium levels. One well has already been shut down due to uranium levels. Another well has rising uranium levels and may be shut down later this year. The third well has rising PCE levels but remains in compliance with state Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) standards. The immediate solutions that TKPOA is considering include the installation of wellhead treatment at two wells, constructing a new intertie with Lukins Brothers Water System, and obtaining water supply from the existing District intertie. The District can provide some water to TKPOA on a short-term, emergency basis by way of an existing mutual aid agreement. The water supply through the District intertie is currently limited, however, due to peak day demands, and related flow and pressure constraints, within the District service area. TKPOA has requested the District to evaluate supplying water to the TKPOA on a long- term basis for a range of flow alternatives. Water supply alternatives include a wholesale water service and the acquisition of the TKPOA water system assets where the TKPOA customers would become District customers and the systems would be integrated. In response to TKPOA's request, the District will need to evaluate and determine options and corresponding improvements to the District water system that would be needed for the various water supply alternatives; evaluate and determine the terms and conditions of a wholesale water service agreement; and evaluate and determine procedures for the District to acquire the TKPOA water system assets and serve the TKPOA customers as District customers. 99 John Thiel Page 2 June 17,2021 The Reimbursement Agreement will ensure that all of the District costs related to these efforts, including legal and engineering professional services, as well as District staff time are paid by TKPOA, which is necessary for the District to avoid gifting public funds. The District and TKPOA have tentatively agreed to set May 3, 2021, as the starting date for such reimbursements. Staff expects this work to take place over the next six months and perhaps longer. The attached Agreement is a draft pending TKPOA review and approval which may occur prior to this Board meeting. SCHEDULE: Upon Board direction COSTS: None.

Sick leave with pay shall be earned by regular Employees based on the equivalent of full-time service from the date of appointment. 1. Sick leave will accrue to the Employee on the first day of the pay period following that in which it is earned. 2. Sick leave shall accrue on the basis of eight (8) hours per full month of service and may be accumulated without limit. 3. Employees placed on unpaid suspension shall not accrue sick leave during the period of their suspension. 4. During any pay period in which an Employee does not work full time or does not receive a full check (by using accrued paid leave hours)sick leave accrual will be applied in accordance with Section 31. 40 148 a. This shall not apply to 9/80, 10-or 12-hour Employees who elect to receive their 8 hours holiday or Safe Incentive pay and not use additional accrued leave pay to equal a full check for a holiday. Employees on leave due to a work-related injury who utilize accrued sick, vacation, or compensatory time to receive the equivalent of a full paycheck(accrued leave plus workers' compensation payments)shall accrue sick hours at full accrual rate. If such accrued hours are not used or are not available, no further sick hours will accrue until the Employee returns to work. 5. During any period of disability for which payment is provided under State Disability Insurance, or Paid Family Leave Benefits, the Employee may elect to coordinate SDI/PFL benefits (see coordination language below)or to receive the sick leave with pay in an amount equal to the difference between the disability or paid family leave benefit and full pay. See examples below. SDI Coordination consists of combining SDI benefits and District pay using available leave accruals. Employees eligible for SDI benefits shall use their available sick leave accrual when supplementing SDI benefits up to 100%of District regular gross wages to at least cover taxable benefits. After Employee has used all available sick leave accrual, other available accrual types may be used. The District will utilize the Employee's SDI benefit payment advice as the basis for coordination of gross wages. Should any combined payment of District gross wages and SDI benefit exceed Employee's regular gross wages (overpayment), Employee will be required to remit payment to the District to buy back leave hours equal to the overpayment (see buy back provision below). Examples: 1. Employee uses minimal hours to cover deductions that results in less than 40 hours per pay period. After audit of combined wage/benefit payments to ensure gross wages have not been exceeded, Employee retains benefit amount for SDI. Note: In this case, sick and vacation accruals, and holiday pay or holiday accrual will be pro-rated per Section 32.A.3. 2. Employee uses 40 hours per pay period. After audit of combined wage/benefit payments, employee is required to remit payment to the District for any amount over 100% of gross wages and sick leave as well as vacation leave (if desired), will be credited proportionately. 3. Employee uses 80 hours per pay period. Since this scenario results in combined payment over 100% of gross wages, Employee remits the amount of SDI/PFL benefit to the District and sick leave (as well as vacation leave if desired)will be credited proportionately. Buy back of leave hours may be calculated proportionately between sick and vacation accrued leave used during the period of disability. Proportion shall be calculated using sick and vacation leave balances on the first day of disability. An Employee may elect to buy back only Sick leave but may not elect to buy 41 149 back solely vacation leave. In no instances will vacation leave be credited in an amount exceeding the total vacation paid throughout the period of disability. B. Regular Employees may use sick leave for the purpose specified in this section: 1. Absence from duty when quarantined because of exposure to a contagious disease or when incapacitated from performing their duties because of personal illness, injury or dental work. 2. Absence from duty for examination or treatment by a dentist, medical doctor, or physician under circumstances not involving quarantine or incapacity, provided, however, that such absences shall be scheduled at the discretion of the General Manager or his/her designee. Absence from duty for attendance upon their spouse, or Registered Domestic Partner, or for attendance on a close relative because of illness or injury which incapacitates such family member and definitely requires personal care. Such absence shall be limited by the appointing authority to the time reasonably required to make other arrangements for such care. A close relative includes children, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, natural, adopted, and by marriage. 3. Absence from duty to transport their spouse or to transport a child or close relative, as defined above, residing with the Employee to and from a local hospital for medical treatment or operation, including childbirth. 4. Absence from duty to be in attendance, at any location, during serious medical treatment or operation, including childbirth, performed upon their spouse or performed upon a child or close relative, as defined above, residing with the Employee. 5. Upon termination, a regular Employee hired before January 1, 2013 shall receive a cash payment equal to ten percent(10%)of accrued unused sick leave for each full year of employment, up to a maximum of 1040 hours, times their regular hourly rate. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 shall not receive a cash payment of accrued unused sick leave upon termination. 6. Employees who have 1040 hours of accrued sick leave may accept payment for 100% of the excess over 1040 hours. They may elect to continue the accrual of sick leave beyond the 1040 hours if they do not want payment for the excess over 1040 hours. When payment is chosen, it will be paid on the first payday in December of each year. This provision shall also apply to Employees hired on or after January 1, 2013. 42 150 7. Upon death of an Employee, the beneficiary shall be paid accumulated sick leave to a maximum of 1,040 hours. This shall not apply to beneficiaries of Employees hired on or after January 1, 2013. 8. The District's PEPRA CaIPERS contract includes up to six (6) months of sick leave conversion to service credit upon termination. To be eligible for this contract feature the member's retirement date must be within 120 days from the date of separation from the District. Vesting of 10% per full year of employment will be applied to the sick leave balance as of the termination date. The vested sick leave balance is the amount that will be reported to CaIPERS. C. It shall be the duty of the General Manager to enforce the provisions of this section and to record each absence for sick leave, including a clear statement of cause and such supporting evidence as is used in determining the necessity of such leave. D. Employees are required to notify their immediate supervisor or department head at least one (1) hour prior to the time set for performing their daily duties, or as soon as possible under extenuating circumstances. Failure to follow this directive could result in disciplinary action. E. If absence from duty due to sickness extends beyond the period of three (3) consecutive working days, the supervisor or department head may require the Employee to provide a doctor's note certifying their illness or disability and confirming their need for sick leave. F. The General Manager or his designee may require an Employee to provide a doctor's note certifying illness or disability at any time they are aware of information or have reason to believe that an Employee is abusing the sick leave privilege. G. The General Manager or his/her designee may require an Employee to provide a fit for duty statement by a medical doctor following any absence for serious illness, injury, or exposure to contagious disease, whether or not sick leave was used. H. When sick leave balances are exhausted, Employees must use their available leave balances, except when the Employee is on Family Medical Leave, Workers' Compensation, or is coordinating their leave with State Disability Insurance or Paid Family Leave benefits. I. An Employee intending to use sick leave for medical appointments shall notify his/her immediate supervisor in advance of the appointment. Sick leave use for this purpose must be approved in advance by the Employee's immediate supervisor. 43 151 J. Sick Leave Reporting Requirement If a supervisor/manager has reason to believe that an Employee is not using their sick leave appropriately, e.g., unusual pattern of sick leave use, excessive use of incidental sick leave, etc., the employer may place the Employee on a sick leave reporting requirement. Employees placed on Sick Leave Reporting will be required to bring a doctor's note for all absences until they are released from this requirement. The steps for this process shall be as follows: 1. The supervisor/manager will meet with the Employee and provide a list of problem absences. Absences subject to FMLA or workplace injury(workers' compensation)shall not be included in the list of problem absences. 2. The supervisor/manager will provide the Employee with written documentation that specifically outlines the employer's concerns and expectations. The Employee will be notified in writing of the timelines and the goals they are expected to achieve. 3. The Employee and the supervisor/manager will meet at least quarterly to discuss this issue until the Employee is removed from the sick leave reporting requirement. 4. Nothing herein shall preclude the District from taking disciplinary action for abuse of sick leave in accordance with existing MOU provisions in addition to following the procedures outlined above. 5. To ensure District-wide consistency in application, the General Manager or his/her designee will oversee the sick leave reporting requirement process. SECTION 36. INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT LEAVE A. Employees who are injured in the performance of assigned duties shall receive such medical examination, medical care, compensation and other benefits as awarded under Workers' Compensation laws of California. Employees who suffer an injury resulting from employment duties shall use the general procedures and receive benefits as set forth below. Complete injury reporting procedures are available in the District's Injury and Illness Prevention Program. 1. It shall be the mandatory duty of Employees to report to their supervisor any possible injury on the date of occurrence or as soon thereafter as their condition permits; failure to do so shall be considered cause for disciplinary action. 44 152 2. Employee shall immediately notify their supervisor and shall immediately receive medical examination and/or emergency treatment as deemed appropriate by the General Manager. 3. The Employee shall not be considered absent from duty during the time required for medical examination and/or emergency treatment; however, overtime pay shall not be paid for treatment extending beyond normal shift. 4. If any Employee is injured on the job, the supervisor shall immediately notify the General Manager and/or the Human Resources Director and shall promptly provide such information as may be requested. B. During any period of disability for which payment is provided under Workers' Compensation insurance, the Employee may elect to receive sick leave with pay in an amount equal to the difference between any compensation benefits and full pay or the employee may elect to endorse the Workers' Compensation insurance benefits over to the District and receive a full paycheck from the District. SECTION 37. LEAVES OF ABSENCE A. A regular Employee may be authorized a leave of absence with or without pay. Such a leave shall entitle the Employee to be absent from duty for a specified period of time and for a specified purpose, with the right to return as provided in the approved leave. 1. No additional sick or vacation accruals shall occur during an unpaid leave of absence. B. A request for a leave of absence with or without pay shall be made in writing.

Buy back of leave hours may be calculated proportionately between sick and vacation accrued leave used during the period of disability.Proportion shall be calculated using sick and vacation leave balances on the first day of disability.An Employee may elect to buy back only sick leave,but may not elect to buy back solely vacation leave. In no instances will vacation leave be credited in an amount exceeding the total vacation paid throughout the period of disability. SECTION 22. WORKERS'COMPENSATION INSURANCE A.
