Note:
Source: HdL Coren and Cone, Orange County Assessor Combined Tax Rolls In 1978, the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited property taxes to a total maximum rate of 1% based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. Each year the assessed value of property may be increased by an inflation factor (limited to a maximum increase of 2%). With few exceptions, property is only reassessed at the time that it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the new assessed value is reassessed at the purchase price of the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations described above.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Yorba Linda
Yorba Linda, California
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Yorba Linda (the entity) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and have issued our report thereon dated December 19, 2024. Professional standards require that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit.
Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit As communicated in our engagement letter dated May 01, 2024, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to form and express opinions about whether the financial statements that have been prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities.
Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of the system of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing 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 over financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the system of internal control of the entity solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.
We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you.
Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated to you.
-2-
Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence The engagement team, others in our firm, and our firm have complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.
We have evaluated whether certain nonattest services performed by our firm during the audit have created a significant threat to our independence in relation to the entity. We have identified a threat to our independence (preparation of the entity’s financial statements, creating a self-review threat) that if not reduced to an acceptable level, would impair our independence. In order to reduce the threat to an acceptable level, we have applied the following safeguard:
Prior to the issuance of the entity’s financial statements, another partner or manager, independent of the engagement, will review the financial statements.
Significant Risks Identified
We have identified the possibility of the following significant risks:
Management's override of internal controls over financial reporting – Management override of internal controls is the intervention by management in handling financial information and making decisions contrary to internal control policy.
Revenue recognition – Revenue recognition is a generally accepted accounting principle that refers to the conditions under which an entity can recognize a transaction as revenue. Auditing standards indicate that recognizing revenue is a presumed fraud risk and usually classified as a significant risk in most audits.
These significant risks are presumptive in most audits and merit attention by the auditors due to the direct impact over financial reporting and internal control processes. Although identified as significant risks, we noted no matters of management override of controls or deviations from generally accepted accounting principles which caused us to modify our audit procedures or any related matters which are required to be communicated to those charged with governance due to these identified risks.
Qualitative Aspects of the Entity’s Significant Accounting Practices Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the entity is included in Note 1 to the financial statements. The entity adopted GASB Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections during 2024. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
Significant Accounting Estimates and Related Disclosures Accounting estimates and related disclosures are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on 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 markedly from management’s current judgments.
-3-
The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the entity’s financial statements are:
Management’s estimate of the net pension liability and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources are based on actuarial reports by independent actuaries. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units.
Management’s estimate of the liability for other post-employment benefits (OPEB) and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources are based on actuarial reports provided by independent actuaries. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units.
Management’s estimate of the modified approach for infrastructure assets are based on the pavement management program by independent consultant. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole and in relation to the applicable opinion units.
Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users.
The most sensitive disclosures affecting the entity’s financial statements relate to:
The disclosure of fair value of investments in the basic financial statements represents amounts susceptible to market fluctuations.
The disclosure of capital assets (and related accumulated depreciation) in the basic financial statements is based on historical information which could differ from actual useful lives of each capitalized item.
The disclosure of net pension liability and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources in the basic financial statements is based on actuarial assumptions. Actual future liabilities and actuarial deferred inflows and outflows may vary from disclosed estimates.
The disclosures of the other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liability and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources in the basic financial statements is based on actuarial assumptions.
Actual future liabilities and actuarial deferred inflows and outflows may vary from disclosed estimates.
The disclosure of leases and subscription liabilities, right-to-use assets, and asset amortization in the basic financial statements is based on certain terms and assumptions in the agreements which could differ from actual amounts.
Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit.
-4-
Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable opinion unit. There were no uncorrected misstatements noted.
In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures. Attachment A reflects all material misstatements that we identified as a result of our audit procedures that were brought to the attention of, and corrected by, management.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to the entity’s financial statements or the auditor’s report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.
Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the attached letter dated December 19, 2024.
Management’s Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.
Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with the entity, we generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, significant events or transactions that occurred during the year, operating and regulatory conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as the entity’s auditors.
Other Information Included in Annual Reports
Pursuant to professional standards, our responsibility as auditors for other information, whether financial or nonfinancial, included in the entity’s annual reports, does not extend beyond the information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform any procedures to corroborate such other information.
However, in accordance with such standards, we have:
Read the transmittal letter and statistical section (or “other information”) and considered whether a material inconsistency existed between the other the information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon
-5-
Our responsibility also includes communicating to you any information which we believe is a material misstatement of fact. Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that such information, or its manner of presentation, is materially inconsistent with the information, or manner of its presentation, appearing in the financial statements.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management of the entity and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
Very truly yours,

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
Independent Auditor's Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Yorba Linda
Yorba Linda, 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 (Government Auditing Standards), the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Yorba Linda (the entity) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the entity’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 19, 2024.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the entity’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’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.
- 2 -
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 or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the entity’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.
We noted certain matters that we have reported to management of the entity in a separate letter dated December 19, 2024.
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.

DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MARK A. PULONE, CITY MANAGER
PREPARED BY: ARLENE QUINTERO, PRINCIPAL RISK AND SAFETY
ANALYST
SUBJECT: DENIAL OF CLAIM FOR DAMAGES-VICKI KODA AND VINTAGE AT
STONEHAVEN
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Yorba Linda deny the claims for damages filed by Vicki Koda and Vintage at Stonehaven.
BACKGROUND
Claims for damages filed against the City are reviewed and investigated by City staff and a third-party claims administrator with George Hills Company, Inc. George Hills Company specializes in claims management and risk management services. These services are provided through the City’s contract membership in the California Insurance Pool Authority.
City staff make recommendations to the Council for settlement or denial based on the investigatory findings. A claimant’s failure to provide evidence of and/or supporting documents to substantiate the claim for damages will also result in a recommendation for denial of the claim.
DISCUSSION
The following claims for damages have been recommended for denial based on the investigations by City staff and the third-party claims administrator. Further details for each claim are available upon request.
Vicki Koda
The claimant alleges that her storm drains were damaged by City tree roots at 4317 Camphor Ave. Upon review, our investigation has revealed no evidence that the roots of any tree belonging to the City of Yorba Linda caused or contributed to the alleged damage.
Additionally, a thorough inspection, including troubleshooting and excavation of the drainage area, confirmed that the drainage pipe in question is not connected to any system and has been abandoned. Based on these findings, the third-party claims administrator and City staff recommend denial of the claim.
DENIAL OF CLAIM FOR DAMAGES-VICKI KODA AND VINTAGE AT STONEHAVEN P a g e | 2
Vintage at Stonehaven
The claimant alleges that their fence sustained damage due to a falling tree branch from a City-owned tree at 5303 Stonehaven Dr. on January 8, 2025. Upon review, City records confirm that there were no prior unaddressed complaints regarding the condition of the tree, and inspections indicate that the tree was in good health and properly maintained.
Under California Government Code Section 835, a public entity is liable for damage caused by a dangerous condition of public property only if the condition was created by a public employee or if the entity had prior notice and failed to take corrective action. Branches falling are a natural occurrence influenced by weather conditions such as wind, rain, and drought, which are unforeseeable and beyond the City’s control. The third-party claims administrator and City staff recommend denying the claim.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
ALTERNATIVES
As an alternative to staff’s recommendations for the claims, the City Council has the following options:
1. Accept liability for the claims and pay the amount specified in the claim forms.
2. Grant settlement authority up to a certain amount and direct the claims adjuster to enter into settlement negotiations with the claimants

BOARDS WELCOME NEW DIRECTORS
The San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agency (SJHTCA) and Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (F/ETCA) Boards of Directors welcomed new members to its Boards of Directors at the February 13 Board Meeting.
William Go, City of Irvine Councilmember, now serves on the SJHTCA and F/ETCA Boards of Directors. Janice Lim, Mayor of Yorba Linda, joined the F/ETCA Board of Directors and Erica Pezold, City of Laguna Hills Councilmember, serves on the SJHTCA Board of Directors.
For more information about the Agencies’ leadership, visit TheTollRoads.com.
PACIFICA BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
The Boards of Directors approved a contract amendment with H. Hendy Associates for continued architectural design services to further assess the needs and opportunities for updates to the Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) offices and customer service walk-in center located in Irvine, helping improve security and safety as well as operational and energy efficiencies. 2025-2026 STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PLATFORMS ADOPTED The Boards of Directors adopted the 2025-2026 State and Federal Legislative Platforms which outline TCA’s legislative priorities and serve as the Board’s policy guidelines throughout the upcoming two-year cycle.
The platforms outline TCA’s key principles and objectives while highlighting areas of focus for the Agencies, including support for national toll interoperability, protection of the Agencies’ local governance and decision making, and advancing TCA’s capital improvement projects. The platforms will be shared with key decision-makers in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. to ensure TCA’s priorities are considered in broader legislative discussions. The platforms also reflect TCA’s leadership in innovation and providing mobility solutions for the region.
SJHTCA EARLY BOND PAYDOWN
CEO Ryan Chamberlain shared news about the SJHTCA’s early bond paydown of $200 million in junior lien bond debt in January. As part of the Agencies’ Strategic Plan, the SJHTCA executed its planned early bond paydown of bond principal – bonds that were issued in 2014 and had maturity dates of 2044 and 2049 – saving the Agency approximately $203 million in future interest payments.
The SJHTCA paid off the bonds with cash reserves when the bonds were callable on January 15.
Since 2022, the early bond paydown program has decreased outstanding principal and produced additional interest savings of approximately $1.79 billion for TCA.
By 2030, the Agencies plan to pay down another $720 million of bonds early, saving an additional $603 million in interest. This future debt reduction, when combined with the prior reductions of $1.79 billion, will collectively reduce debt by $3.1 billion.

DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: NATE FARNSWORTH, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
PREPARED BY: BOBBY AVINA, SENIOR COMMUNITY PRESERVATION
OFFICER
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING AND ABATEMENT BY CITY FOR 4082 VALLEY VIEW AVE (APN 323-011-85 AND 323-011-86)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2025-5929 declaring that the lack of property maintenance, allowing dead, overgrown weeds and vegetation upon or in front of the indicated property, constitute a public nuisance and ordering abatement thereof.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Over the past five years, Community Preservation has sent more than 30 notices and seven citations regarding the lack of maintenance on the vacant parcels located at 4082 Valley View Ave (APN 323-011-85 and 323-011-86). After several notices or citations, the owner would eventually get the lots maintained. These properties receive regular complaints from neighbors in the area concerned about fire prevention. It is important to note that this property is not a part of the City’s annual weed abatement program; therefore, it is simply treated as a property maintenance issue when complaints arise.
In 2023, the property was sold to a new owner. Since the last sale, no action has been taken by the new owner to remedy the issues. Most recently, Community Preservation staff sent out a Final Notice on August 20, 2024; however, the notice was returned as undeliverable.
Unfortunately, no email or phone numbers are available. Therefore, the case was referred to the City Attorney’s Office. On November 27, 2024, a Notice from the City Attorney’s Office was sent to the address on file and posted on the property; however, the mail was again returned as undeliverable. To date, these parcels remain in violation and continue to be a public nuisance as well as a potential fire hazard.
Section 8.04.070 of the Municipal Code states: If a nuisance is not completely abated by the owner as directed within the thirty-day period, the City shall immediately cause the same to be abated by the City personnel or private contract, and the personnel or persons under contract are expressly authorized to enter upon the premises for such purposes. The owner of the premises shall be liable to the City for all costs of the abatement, including administrative costs.

P a g e | 2
Pursuant to Section 8.04.080 of the Municipal Code, “The personnel or persons who abate a nuisance pursuant to this chapter shall keep an account of the cost of abatement. The personnel or persons shall submit to the City Council for confirmation an itemized written report showing the costs. The City Council may modify the report if it is deemed necessary and shall then confirm the report by motion or resolution.” Pursuant to Sections 25845 and 38773.5 of the Government code of the state, the total cost of abatement, including all administrative costs, shall constitute a special assessment against that parcel. After the assessment is made and confirmed, it is a lien on the parcel.
The special assessment shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedures and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary municipal taxes.
At the February 4, 2025 City Council meeting, a resident spoke during public comments and expressed her frustration with the amount of time it has taken to obtain compliance with this specific property. She requested the City’s help in obtaining compliance and that the City review its code enforcement procedures and find ways to expedite the process. The City recently hired a new Senior Community Preservation Officer, who has already begun the process of analyzing the City’s Code Enforcement Manual to find ways to expedite the process especially when it is related to safety matters and repeat violators.
FISCAL IMPACT
Three bids to perform the abatement were requested and the lowest bid came in at $1,240.80 with Nieves Landscape, Inc. As described above, a lien will be placed on the property and will be recovered upon sale of the property.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may direct the City Attorney’s Office to file a Criminal Complaint and proceed through the Court process; however, this process is a much lengthier and more expensive process. It also would delay the process of property maintenance, which is the primary concern related to this property.

SUBJECT: UPDATE ON SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT’S PROPOSED AMENDED RULES 1111 AND 1121 BANNING NATURAL
GAS-FIRED FURNACES AND WATER HEATERS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council discuss the proposed amended rules, and at the Council’s discretion, take a position.
BACKGROUND
The South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) is the regulatory agency primarily responsible for controlling emissions from stationary sources of air pollution within its jurisdiction stretching through most of southern California. The Governing Board is proposing to amend two rules aiming to reduce emissions by banning residential gas-fired furnaces (Rule 1111) and water heaters (Rule 1121) in order to transition to zero-emission appliances. The rules would apply to new equipment installed after appliances are voluntarily replaced or existing appliances break beginning in 2029.
DISCUSSION
The proposed amended rules are a significant effort of AQMD’s 2022 Air Quality Management Plan implementation which seeks to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by 67% over baseline levels by 2037. This is in response to the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ozone limits of 70 parts per billion established in 2016. When NOx mixes with sunlight and heat, ozone/smog is formed and can cause negative health impacts. In a flyer, AQMD estimates these rules will prevent 4,000 premature deaths and 16,000 cases of newly onset asthma.
According to information posted by AQMD, the intended goal of these proposed amended rules is to eliminate NOx emissions from residential heating appliances that burn natural gas and transition the region to using zero-NOx emission appliances. AQMD originally planned to hold a public hearing on December 6, 2024, to adopt the proposed amended rules but postponed the hearing until May 2, 2025, to perform more public outreach.
UPDATE ON SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT’S PROPOSED AMENDED RULES 1111 AND 1121 BANNING NATURAL GAS-FIRED FURNACES AND
WATER HEATERS
P a g e | 2
However, several cities and other agencies have expressed concerns about the proposed amended rules based on several factors including the high cost of transitioning from gasfired appliances to all-electric and the reliability of the electric grid to deliver enough power for the anticipated future demand. Additionally, some opponents are concerned about the potential loss of affordable multifamily housing units due to owners not being able to afford costly upgrades and being forced to sell units at market prices.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
ALTERNATIVES
City Council’s discretion.

Hon. Vanessa Delgado, Chair
South Coast Air Quality Management District Governing Board 21865 Copley Dr.
Diamond Bar, CA 91765
Dear Chair Delgado and Governing Board members -
The City of Yorba Linda has just recently been made aware of two proposed rules being advanced by SCAQMD staff for consideration by your Governing Board. On behalf of our city’s residents, business owners, organizations and city employees, we are conveying our opposition to Proposed Amended Rules 1111 and 1121 and urge you to defer consideration of these rules to allow SCAQMD Governing Board members and staff to receive additional information, data, input and dialogue from the numerous stakeholders potentially impacted by this proposed rule.
We have significant concerns regarding the scale of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and other requirements necessary to comply with retrofits of existing commercial buildings, single family homes and multifamily residential properties, as well as the dramatic cost implications to thousands of families who call Yorba Linda home.
We believe it is highly likely that if Rules 1111 and 1121 are adopted by the Governing Board, the high costs of compliance will force the owners of older multifamily properties to sell or redevelop their properties, subsequently resulting in a dramatic reduction in the availability of affordable housing in our city and across the region.
Our City Council shares your commitment clean air and water and other quality of life benefits that draw and retain the residents and business owners who live here. However, the current versions of PAR 1111 and 1121 will deliver consequences that will lead to a variety of negative impacts, impacting jobs and increasing the cost of living in our region.
We urge the SCAQMD Governing Board to delay consideration/adoption of PAR 1111/1121 to allow District staff to better inform the millions of Southern California residents of these proposed rules and to address the many unanswered questions regarding cost, technology, and the availability of potential incentives.
Sincerely,
CITY OF YORBA LINDA

Original Rule Concept
New Residential Structures
• Require zero-emission appliances California building code already requires zero-ready starting 2026
Existing Residential Structures
• Require replaced appliances to meet zero-NOx-emissions standard beginning in 2029 when:
• The consumer chooses to replace, or
• The equipment needs to be replaced
• Staff proposed alternative compliance options for certain situations • Emergency replacements
• Stranded asset from newer AC unit
• Multifamily buildings
• Installations in high altitude regions
7
Key Comments Overview
• Over 250 comment letters received since Public
Workshop on October 3, 2024 • ~20% letters supported the rule concept • ~70% letter opposed the rule concept, including cities and Councils of Governments
• ~10% raised concerns and provided feedback
• Key comments include: • Affordability, especially for low -income
• Lack of consumer choice if rule mandates a
complete conversion to zero-emission technologies
• Concerns about zero-emission technology readiness
• Concerns about electricity demand and grid
sustainability
• Proposed rules will impact small units in schools
and businesses
8
Applicability • Rules apply to appliances based on size (e.g., rated heat input capacity)
• Water heating rule applies to natural gas-fired units less than 75,000 Btu/hr • Most installed in single family homes with some in -unit
multifamily buildings
• Generally, tank-type water heaters of up to 75 gallons • Schools with larger water heaters are not regulated by this rule
• Space heating rule currently applies to smaller units typically installed in single-family homes
• Proposed rule is being expanded to include larger space heating units that currently are not regulated, up to 2 million Btu/hr • Could include smaller commercial units
9
Considerations to Address Concerns with Residential Appliance Rules
• Set compliance goals to allow manufacturers to sell a certain percentage of NOx emitting units (e.g. gas) and reduce percentage over time with mitigation fee • Alternative compliance option in lieu of meeting compliance date for all sales Establish a Zero-Emission Manufacturer Alternative
Compliance Option
• 20 - 30 percent of furnaces are zero-emissions*
• 20 - 30 percent of water heaters are zero-emissions** Staff used Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimated 2020 appliance use in California to establish compliance goal * https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/data/2020/state/pdf/State%20Space%20Heating%20Fuels.pdf ** https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/data/2020/state/pdf/State%20Water%20Heating.pdf 10

* Could propose different target for space and water heater appliances 11
Implementation Approach
Who is Subject?
• All manufacturers who sell gas units subject to Rule 1111 and 1121 (~10 in total) • No requirements for manufacturers who only sell zero-emission appliances, not subject to rules
What is required*?
• Manufacturers submit annual reports after the end year • Report gas and zero-emission appliance sales starting February 2030 • Sales data will be used to estimate the percent sales • Pay mitigation fees for gas units
Staff meeting with each manufacturer to discuss their implementation * Considering if we should include any requirements on OEM before start of compliance period 12
Proposed Mitigation Fee
• Proposing alternative compliance option for manufacturers combined with mitigation fees • Fee will partially mitigate emission forgone from the alternative compliance option • Provide a revenue stream for Go Zero incentive program • Manufacturers previously paid $150 - $450 mitigation fee per 40 ng/J gas furnace • Proposing nominal fee to incentivize transition to zero-emission technologies without putting undue financial burden on homeowners
Mitigation fee for all gas units sold after 2027
• $100/gas furnace
• $50/gas water heater
• $500 mitigation fee for each units sold over target*
• Discounted fee if zero-emission goal exceeded
* Considering increasing fee over time

1.0 1.2 2.9 7.3 9.0
• Implementation of revised concept will result in a slower transition to zeroemission units • Slightly less emission reductions at full implementation • Potentially more incentives available in early years to support transition to zero-emission
14
How the New Rule Concept Addresses Concerns
Affordability, especially for low-income residents
• Individual decision as gas units will still be available Lack of consumer choice
• Homeowners will have a choice to purchase gas unit or zero-emission unit Concerns about zero-emission technology readiness
• Slower transition to zero-emission allows more technology development Concerns about electricity demand and grid sustainability • Slower transition will slow demand increase and time to meet future demand 15
Other Benefits to New Proposed Rule Concept Addresses
Concerns
Simplifies the proposed rules,
removes other alternative
compliance options
•Original concept put more
responsibility on the installer
• Request delays for
construction
•Notify for emergency
replacements
Mitigation fee will help fund

• Provides funding source
• Longer life of the program
• Focus on low-income
residents
