NEW INFORMATION "Appendix A" of the District Code includes multiple schedules and "Appendix B" is an explanation of the as-built drawing format. Staff proposes that Appendix A & B be segregated into the following separate appendices, but remain essentially unchanged except for the items discussed in the April 16, 2014 Workshop: A- Record Retention Schedule B - As-Built Drawing Format C - Miscellaneous Fees D - Schedule D-NM Domestic - Net Metering E - Electric Connection & Fee Schedule F - Electric Facilities Fees G - Electric Retail Rates & Solar Initiative Customer Charge H - Water Connection & Fee Schedule I - Water Facilities Fees J - Water Rates Staff has updated the District Bylaws, Code and fees.

Board Code of Conduct 2.56.050 Procedural Considerations The Board of DireGtorsshall n-a-mmit to annually review t mpeFlantpFGGedural materials, At the beginning of eaGh year the Board of Directors will review Board Code of Conduct, the Brown Act and other matters related to Board procedures periodically as part of continuing education. Procurements 3.08.020 Procedure for Purchase of Commodities or Equipment Under$15,000 3.08.020.3 Purchase orders for the purchase of commodities or equipment, with a value of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, may be issued by the General Manager, any-Department Head, or the authorized Buyer/Clerk or Special Projects Administrator to any approved vendor after considering price, terms and delivery schedule. 3.08.020.4 Purchase orders for the purchase of commodities or equipment, with a value of five thousand dollars ($5,000) or less, may be issued by the Superintendents, System Engineers, Conservation Programs Administrator, or the Finance and Accounting Manager to any approved vendor after considering price, terms and delivery schedule.

Therefore, it relies on contractors and service providers to perform work. These contractors and service providers perform work in accordance with plans and specifications and based on a fixed price contract. There are occasionally circumstances encountered after a contractor or service provider has begun work that requires a change in the plans and specifications or scope of work and result in a change in the contract price. These changes are generally matters that could not be anticipated nor planned during the design and specification phase of the project. The contract change order is the procedure whereby plans and specifications or scope of work and contract price can be changed after the contract is executed and work has commenced. The Board of Directors authorizes the execution of contract change orders when the total GG • l he $SIC. 000 or grea4er up to the General Manager's contract authorization or up to the individual contract change order authorization previously established by the Board. Most contract change orders are such that their consideration by the Board can wait for a regular Board meeting. However, under certain circumstances it is to the District's benefit to permit the General Manager to authorize the Department Head to proceed with change order work or to request a special board meeting to consider the matter. Work can proceed on a contract change order prior to being reviewed by the Board of Directors under the following circumstances: Employee Benefits 4.07.020 Insurance Plans 4.07.020.1 Group Medical Insurance Plan: The District shall provide and pay the full premium for coverage of employees and their dependents.
