INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

Board of Directors
California Choice Energy Authority
Lancaster, California

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of California Choice Energy Authority (the Authority), a component unit of the City of Lancaster, California (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise California Choice Energy Au thority’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 20, 2021.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered California Choice Energy Authority's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of California Choice Energy Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of California Choice Energy Authority’s internal control.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Board of Directors
California Choice Energy Authority

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether California Choice Energy Authority's financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Board of Directors
California Choice Energy Authority
Lancaster, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the California Choice Energy Authority (the Authority), a component unit of the City of Lancaster, California (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Board of Directors
California Choice Energy Authority
(2)
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the California Choice Energy Authority as of June 30, 2021, and the changes in its financial position and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the California Choice Energy Authority and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City of Lancaster, California, as of June 30, 2021 and the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, it’s cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis of pages 3 to 6 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who cons iders it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards , we have also issued our report dated December 20, 2021 on our consideration of the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness on the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2021
(3)
The i
nformation presented in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis is intended to provide a narrative overview of the California Choice Energy Authority’s (the Authority) financial activities as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Please consider this information in conjunction with the accompanying basic financial statements.

Financial Highlights
 The assets of the Authority exceeded its liabilities at the close of fiscal year June 30 , 2021, by
$387,307 (net position).

The Authority’s total net position decreased by $46,234 in fiscal year 2020-21.

Overview o
f the Basic Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Authority’s financial statements. The Authority’s financial statements are composed of two components: (1) financial statements and (2) notes to basic financial statements.

Authority-wide Financial Statements
Statement of Net Position: The statement of net position includes all assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities are reported at their book value, on an accrual basis, as of the statement date.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position: The statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position presents the revenues earned and expenses incurred during the year on an accrual basis.

Statement of Cash Flows: The statement of cash flows presents the inflows and outflows of cash for the year. The statement is prepared using the direct method of cash flows and therefore presents gross rather than net amounts for the year’s activities.

The notes to basic financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the Authority’s financial statements. The notes to basic financial statements can be found on pages 10-13 of this report.

E 1 NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
The financial statements are intended to reflect the financial position and changes in the financial position attributable to the California Choice Energy Authority (the Authority), a component unit of the City of Lancaster, California (the City). These financial statements are exclusively for the Authority and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position and changes in the financial position for the City.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of the Reporting Entity
The Authority was formed on March 28, 2017 is governed by the Lancaster City Council with each City joining as an associate member of the JPA. The Authority was formed to help member cities in Southern California Edison territory to participate in community choice aggregation (CCA) without having to sacrifice control often associated with joint power authorities or taking on the significant liability for a single entity community choice aggregation. Each associate City’s Council would set rates for their City, purchase their energy and contract their CCA services through existing Authority contracts which helps keep costs low and maximize revenues for each associate member. Associate members assume only those responsibilities with which their councils and staff are most comfortable and capable of handling. The Authority handles the procurement, regulatory and compliance and billing and data management for associate members.

Basis of Presentation
The Authority operates as an enterprise fund. An enterprise fund is a proprietary type fund used to account for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises – where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes.

Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation Measurement focus is a term used to describe which transactions are recorded within the various financial statements. Basis of accounti ng refers to when transactions are recorded regardless of the measurement focus applied. The accompanying financial statements are reported using the economic resources m easurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the economic measurement focus, all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources (whether current or noncurrent) associated with these activities are included on the statement of net position. The statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Authority’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

Accounts Receivable
The Authority’s accounts receivable consists of funds due from other governments and CalChoice members for services and products provided.

Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs appli cable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items. The consumption method of accounting is used for prepaid items.

Deposits
The Authority receives deposits from energy providers for projects under construction to secure energy and resource adequacy in advance. Once the project is operational, the Authority will return the deposit.

Unearned Revenue
The Authority has unearned revenues for payments that were received in advance from customers for the subsequent period. The Authority will recognize revenue for advance customer payments in the service period in which the revenue is earned.

Net Position Assumptions
Sometimes the Authority will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted – net position and unrestricted – net position in the financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied.

It is the Authority’s practice to consider restricted – net position to have been depleted before unrestricted – net position is applied.

Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at the reporting date. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequent Events
The Authority has evaluated subsequent events through December 20, 2021, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

E 3 CASH AND INVESTMENTS
At June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents of $890,884 consist of an interest-earning checking account.

Investments Authorized by the California Government Code The California Government Code authorizes the Authority to invest in certain types of investments. The table below identifies these investment types and the related maximum percentages by the California Government Code. The table also identifies certain provisions of the California Government Code that address interest rate risk and concentration of credit risk.

Securities None None None
Certificates of Deposit None None None
Money Market Mutual Funds N/A None 10%
Local Agency Investment Fund None None $75,000,000
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The California Government Code and the Authority’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure the Authority’s deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. At June 30, 2021, the Authority’s deposits of $890,884 are covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or collateralized.

NOTE 4 CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS AND COMMITMENTS
The Authority has master “Take or Pay” agreements with different energy providers that associate members use to purchase energy to provide for future electric capacity for associate member agencies customers. Associ ate members enter into separate contracts with the providers and these contracts constitute an obligation of the associate member agencies to purchase a set volume of electricity at a set price throughout the terms of the contracts.

We have audited the financial statements of Califor nia Choice Energy Authority (the Authority), a component unit of the City of Lancaster, California (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, and have issued our report thereon dated December 20, 2021. We have previously communicated to you information about our responsibilities under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and Government Auditing Standards , as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit in our engagement letter dated June 17, 2021. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.

Significant audit findings or issues
Qualitative aspects of accounting practices
Accounting policies
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by California Choice Energy Authority are described in Note 1 to the financial statements.

No new accounting policies were adopted, and the application of existing policies was not changed during fiscal year 2021.

We noted no transactions entered into by the entity during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.

Accounting estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of t he financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimate affecting the financial statements was:
 Management’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an analysis of the collectability of individual accounts.

Financial statement disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users.

The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.

Difficulties encountered in performing the audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.

Corrected and Uncorrected misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.

Management did not identify, and we did not notify them of any uncorrected or corrected financial statement misstatements.

Disagreements with management
For purposes of this communication, a disagreement with management is a disagreement on a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor s’ report. No such disagreements arose during our audit.

Management representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated December 20, 2021.

Management consultations with other independent accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the entity’s financial statements or a determination of the type of auditors’ opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.

Significant issues discussed with management prior to engagement We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to engagement as the entity’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our engagement.

Other information in documents containing audited financial statements With respect to the required supplementary information (RSI) accompanying the financial statements, we made certain inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the RSI, including whether the RSI has been measured and presented in accordance with prescribed guidelines, whether the methods of measurement and preparation have been changed from the prior period and the reasons for any such changes, and whether there were any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the RSI. We com pared the RSI for consistency with management’s responses to the foregoing inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge obtained during the audit of the basic financial statements. Because these limited procedures do not provide sufficient evidence, we did not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.

STAFF REPORT
City of Lancaster
Date: January 25, 2022
To: Mayor Parris and City Council Members
From: George N. Harris II, Finance Director
Subject:Monthly Report of Investments – December 2021
Recommendation:

Accept and approve the December 2021 Monthly Report of Investments as submitted.

Fiscal Impact:

None
Background:

Portfolio Recap
Yield:

December 2021 November 2021
Total Portfolio 0.82% 0.97%
Local Agency Investment Fund 0.21% 0.20%
Total Portfolio Balance: $102,492,064 $85,676,435 The portfolio balance increased from November to December by $16,815,629 or 19.6%.

Significant revenues for December included $13,000,000 bond draw down, $9,843,903 Property Taxes, $2,214,308 Sales & Use Tax, and $1,489,859 Measure LC Sales Tax. The largest City expenditures were $3,201,998 Capital Projects, $3,003,366 property purchase, and $2,956,842 Payroll & Benefits.

The City’s temporary idle cash, those funds that are not immediately needed to pay current bills and not governed by bond indentures or bond resolutions, is invested in accordance with the City’s adopted Investment Policy. This policy is reviewed regularly by the City Council, with the latest policy adopted February 13, 2018, by Resolution No. 18-06. 7 9
7 The City's cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible within the guidelines of this Investment Policy. The City attempts to achieve the highest yield obtainable through a diversified portfolio only after meeting the criteria established for safety and liquidity in that order. The principal investment objectives of the City are:

1. Preservation of capital and protection of investment principal;

2. Maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated cash flows;

3. Attainment of a market rate of return;

4. Diversification to avoid incurring unreasonable market risks, and;

5. Compliance with the City’s Municipal Code and with all applicable City resolutions, California statutes and Federal regulations.

The City’s portfolio is a short-term and intermediate-term fixed income portfolio. The maximum maturity of any investment is 5 years, with consideration of anticipated cash flow requirements and known future liabilities. The City contracts with an investment advisory service (Insight Investment) to assist in the effort to maximize the returns of the City portfolio. The City’s investments include publicly traded Treasury notes, Treasury Bills, Federal Agency Investments, Time Deposits, and Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) under the auspices of the State Treasurer for investment. Funds invested in LAIF are available within 24 hours, and other investments are available upon maturity at full face value. These investments enable the City to meet its expenditure requirements for the next six months, as required by state law.

The City’s investment procedures are governed by Sections 53600 et. seq. of the California Government Code. Additional requirements have been placed on the City’s authorized investments by the Investment Policy (a copy is available in the Finance Department or from the City Clerk), and all investments listed on the attached report adhere to these requirements.

From: Sonya Patterson, Director of Parks, Arts, Recreation and Community Services Subject: Resolution to Authorize Submittal of Application for Statewide Park Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Grant
Recommendation:

Adopt Resolution No. 22-03, approving the application and availability of matching funds for the Statewide Park Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Grant.

Fiscal Impact:

None at this time
Background:

Staff has reviewed the grant guidelines and determined the Amargosa Creek Recreational Trail Project is a viable and competitive grant project. The Project is a 2.5-mile corridor of protected bicycle and pedestrian trail along the Amargosa Creek, which will offer residents increased opportunities for active transportation, healthy recreation, and community engagement. The Project seeks to provide greater bicyclist and pedestrian access to recreational opportunities, cultural centers, residential communities, businesses, and future developments, while engaging our community in the development of public art and educational signage celebrating the corridor’s desert landscape and waterway stewardship.

The grant procedures require the applicant to certify by resolution the approval of the application before submission to the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The adoption of this resolution will approve the submittal of the grant application and availability of matching funds for the Amargosa Creek Recreation Trail Project.
8 0
4 The project is estimated to cost $5,000,000. There is no fiscal impact with the approval of the resolution and submittal of the grant at this time. However, if awarded, the City would be required to make available matching funds in the amount of $2,500,000 for the project. The City is simultaneously applying for the CalTrans Clean California Local Grants Program in the amount of $6,000,000, which would be used as matching funds if awarded, and further expand the scope of the project.

Approve Resolution of the Board of Directors of County Sanitation District No. 14 of Los Angeles County Proclaiming a Local Emergency, Ratifying the Proclamation of a State of Emergency on March 4, 2020, by California Governor and Authorizing Remote Teleconference Meetings of the Legislative Body

Summary: Between 2007 and 2012, the District made a number of upgrades to its facilities including construction of the Lancaster Water Reclamation Plant Expansion; construction of the Rosamond Outfall Trunk Sewer; and replacement of a section of the Trunk F Sewer. Four State Clean Water Revolving Fund low-interest loans obtained during that period were used to partially fund the work. Now, because interest rates have dropped to near-historic low levels, savings can be realized by refinancing the loan principal still outstanding. The proposed Resolution, as attached, includes approval of the necessary documents, direction to staff to distribute the documents, and authority for the Financing Authority (comprised of all the active Districts and governed by a Commission made up of those Districts’ chairpersons) to sell new revenue bonds on the District’s behalf. Under the proposed action, the District would approve the issuance of approximately $45 million of refinancing bonds, resulting in an estimated net present value savings of $4 million. The necessary extensive documents to be considered for the sale of the bonds are available at http://www.lacsd.org/d14bonds. A letter discussing this issue accompanies the agenda.

This item is consistent with the Districts Guiding Principles of commitment to fiscal responsibility and prudent financial stewardship and to protect financial assets through prudent investment programs.

(a) Report on Bids and Award and Order Executed Contract 8 0
0 (b) Order Staff to Review Insurance and Surety Bonds for Performance and Payment and, if Sufficient, Order Secretary to Sign Contract Evidencing Approval of Bonds and Insurance Summary: The Project will include the addition of electrical equipment to provide redundancy to most of the switchboards associated with the power distribution systems at the Lancaster WRP. In addition, existing busways will be replaced with busducts, and protective relaying will be upgraded to provide arc- flash protection to the modified power distribution systems, and all appurtenant work. Funds have been allocated in the capital budget to cover the cost of this Project. The bid summary/recommendation to award is attached. Staff has determined that the Project described herein is exempt or otherwise not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to California Public Resources Code Sections 15301 and 15302 and Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“CEQA Guidelines”) Section 21080. This item is consistent with the Districts’ Guiding Principles to protect financial and facility assets through prudent investment and maintenance programs; and commitment to operational excellence (protection of public health and the environment, regulatory compliance, and cost effectiveness).

Authorize Issuance of Purchase Orders as Follows:
(a) To R&B Automation, Inc., in Amount of Approximately $148,240.00 for Replacement of Valve Actuators at Lancaster Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) Summary: The Recycled Water Pump Station at the Lancaster WRP is designed with eight flow control valves that regulate flow from the plant and on-site storage reservoirs into the pump station wet well. These valves are controlled by specialized electro-hydraulic actuators that also automatically close on power failure to protect the station from being flooded because it is located at a lower elevation than both the plant and storage reservoirs. The existing eight valve actuators have been in service since 2012 but have been unreliable and difficult to maintain due to long lead times for repair parts and poor technical support due to lack of local/regional support. The Districts has replaced similar electro-hydraulic actuators at other treatment plants with electric actuators manufactured by Sipos that have required minimal servicing. In addition, the replacement electric actuators are supported by R&B Automation, a local company, and have proven to be reliable at other WRPs for similar applications. This item is consistent with the Districts’ Guiding Principles to protect financial and facility assets through prudent investment and maintenance programs; and commitment to operational excellence (protection of public health and the environment, regulatory compliance, and cost effectiveness).
(b) To Horizons Construction Co. International, Inc., in Amount of Approximately $298,529.93 for Demolition and Disposal of Abandoned Facilities at Lancaster Water Reclamation Plant (WRP)
Summary: The Lancaster WRP has been in service since 1959 and has undergone several upgrades since its commissioning. Some of the decommissioned facilities have been abandoned in place.

There are three locations at the WRP that contain abandoned chemical addition stations and tanks that will be demolished and removed. Pursuant to authority previously granted by the Board, the project will be completed utilizing the Job Order Contracting program which relies on pre- established, competitively bid construction tasks that will accelerate project delivery and reduce 8 0
0 administration and design costs. Staff has determined that the Project is exempt or otherwise not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 15301 and Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (“CEQA Guidelines”) Section 15304. These items are consistent with the Districts’ Guiding Principles to protect financial and facility assets through prudent investment and maintenance programs; and commitment to operational excellence (protection of public health and the environment, regulatory compliance, and cost effectiveness).

This item is consistent with the Districts’ Guiding Principles of commitment to fiscal responsibility and prudent financial stewardship; and to protect financial and facility assets through prudent investment and maintenance programs.
