MEMORANDUM G1
DATE: November 5, 2001
MEMO TO: City Manager
FROM:, Director of Finance &Treasurers
RE: Desert Water Agencys Financial Statements
Attached are copies of the Balance Sheet and Income Statement from the DWA's 6/30101 Financial
Statements, and a copy of my worksheet of selected financial information back to FY 1984-85.
The DWA continues to accumulate cash reserves far beyond (in my opinion)_a reasonable level. For
FY 00-01, cash reservesare 34 /of Opening Expenses. Five years ago, the"percentage was
256%, ten years ago, 200%. I've never been able to find out why the DWA feels they need such
enormous reserves.--
A major contributor to the DWA'.s annual net income is their property tax override. For FY 01-02, the
sate is .07%. For each $100,000 of assessed valuation, that is an additional $70 in property tax.
The rate has remained unchanged since FY 99-00, even though total assessed valuation has
increased by over 20% during the same period. P
In light of our ongoing conversations with the DWA on a number of issues, I thought you might find
this interesting. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Good evening Council and Staff,
Dana L. Stewart and James McKinley, Palm Springs
2660 N. Farrell Drive; Palm Springs, CA 92262 (760) 864-4181
We are here to encourage the council to extend the contract for Veolia to operate our
wastewater treatment plant. Just this past year, they have received a major national
industry award for the outstanding job they have done for Palm Springs. Yes, the city is
in the water treatment business, successfully, because we have award-winning Veolia.
We object to the foregone conclusion that the plant will be sold. That is up to 2/3 of the
voters to decide- not you- despite this city's expensive effort to disenfranchise us. We
think that it is the height of foolishness to sell it. We should not be selling our greatest
public asset that brings the greatest financial benefit to the citizens of our town. This sale
is predicated upon wanting to upgrade and expand the facility, and there is more to do.
Carcinogenic chemicals are still being used. Solely biological and mechanical means to
treat our water requires minimum modification for optimum quality. We know that this
would save 25 to 30% on their operating expenses. It could also increase our capacity
by that much, giving a double benefit to the bottom line, and to rate-payers. Solar should
be used for electricity. There needs to be time for the city and Veolia to explore these
proven technologies.
We have asked this council, many times, as to the use of the $9 million in funds they
"borrowed"from the plant, and when it will be paid back. We can't think of a better
purpose for those monies than to assure that our drinking water is not contaminated.
One more time, we insist on a written answer to this Request for Information.
Water is known as "Blue Gold". That is why the Nestle—Arrowhead facility in Cabazon is
stealing it for millions of dollars every year. They are stealing our replenishment water.
We should be joining the lawsuit to stop Nestle. Our other source, the Colorado River, is
subject to severe drought, contamination and new contracts to Arizona and Nevada. Our
aquifer is seriously depleted from over-development's over-use.
Our resources, our land and our water, are our lives and our livelihoods. We don't want
to pay for thousands of more rooftops, we do not want, with our money or our property.
Mr. Mills, you may have an eye for detail, but you can't seem to see the forest for the
trees. Our infrastructure, and our emergency response capabilities, must properly
service the current residents, and be ready to expand, BEFORE you allow the burden of
rooftops, noise, traffic, crime, pollution, energy outages, water depletion and the
ruination of our air quality. Not after. Your responsibility is to the health and well-being of
the citizens of this town, not to the profits of special interests with their bogus benefits of
people that aren't even here yet.
All of you must stop ruining, and selling off, our heritage. Let's start at the source—
water. Keep up the good work of Veolia. Thank you.

I am pleased to gain the opportunity to contribute to the t
improvement of my local transportation system. I have been a C5.2�J
faithful rider going on 3 years.
Since my personal meeting with Mike Oglesby upon his arrival,
all of my customer service calls have the intent of contributing
to his successful operation and growth of SUNLINE. It is with
praise, I inform you tonight about the improvements to safety
for the passengers since management has addressed the complaints
about drivers talking on personal cell phones while operating
the bus and those drivers that " entertained " a passenger
seated in the first seat. These drivers diverted their attention
and sight away from the traffic, creating the potential for a
serious accident. When our "driver" get us and the bus safely to
the designated time point on schedule, they will have this
opportunity to cajole with us.
REMEMBER, POSTED ON ALL BUSES IS A SIGN WHICH ADDRESSES COMFORT
AND SAFETY ISSUES. TALK TO THE DRIVER WHILE BOARDING THE BUS
ONLY OR WHEN THE BUS IS COMPLETELY STOPPED.
As public transportation is a service, I find that too many of
the senior drivers have deep rooted hatred toward the new
management and passengers while in the performance of their
jobs. Specific areas which I would like to contribute to the
improvement of are;
1. Driver Robert ( union steward) is leading a pack of drivers
that refuses to announce street stops often enough along the
trip. Last week between Mesquite Ave. P.S. and COD P.D. He made
Zero Announcements O, nil, none! ! ! ! ! ! As a minister of some
church what belies his hatred toward management and a congenial
performance of his bus driving duties?
2. While transferring from the Ill bus to the 50 at Town center,
Irma was waiting for the transfers with the door open. After
arranging my personal items at the bench, I attempted to board
the bus and the door was closed. Only at her whim was I allowed
to board as the bus was preparing to depart and informed by her,
" I DON'T HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR UNTIL I DECIDE TO OPEN THE
DOOR" . For your knowledge, Irma was seated in the driver's seat,
talking to a passenger along the first two seats on the bus and
when I knocked to enter she checked her watch and had me stand
outside.
Lastly, the issues of safety which I feel need immediate
resolution of are
B the driver, that my personal survey compiled the highest
customer dissatisfaction grade; allowed a man that commandeered
a ride in Palm Springs by standing in the roadway, stopping the
operation of the bus BOARD. Is this unsafe practice covered by
the homeland security department which would have the bus
officials and perhaps the local police investigate an individual
that acts this way??? When she opened the door and allowed the
man access, she puts all aboard in peril! ! ! ! ! )'7 As the victim of a recent assault aboard the Ill bus, the
drivers Paul and Susan and Ignatio( who was acting as a
supervisor) refused to assist me in contacting the Cat City /(a J
police. It must be with urgency that management address this
issue, make the proper and obligatory corrections so that no
other customers are neglected or subjected to treatment like I

encountered. I was told that the company dispatcher directions
were " I£ I wanted the police to be involved, go find a pay
phone and call them Myself! ! ! ! ! .
At this time, please accept my application as a member of the
advisory panel. it is with the personal conviction that I
believe that improvements are achieved when all parties
VALUE STRONGLY THE RESULTS
Thank You,

Workstteet for preliminary estimate of savings from SunChiller system
You to mach,a pretirrana,^,{estimate of savings from SunChiller system by using Via v:.ror'rsheet baby for your ane=gy
rate schedule.
Example:
IDn the basis ob a 100,O00 sq.R.facitily in Los Angeles and assuming tvra electric chillers meeting a total load of 230
tons,calculations illustrate the savings available from converting only the lead chiller to a 115-tan,SunChiller system.
The incremental installed cost for Sum—Chiller system above the clectric d1ler cost.vitt be about$370,000. 'SunGlvller,
systam of this capacity requires about 17MIMW Less power compared to an electric cenwagal chiller. The,efore,if
emergency power equipment(costing about$400/kVr!)is required,SunChilfer will save about$70,000 forms installed
cost of ate backup power equipment resulting in net incremental installed cost of$300,000.
The estivna ed annuai cooling by the 115 ten SunChMor system is 179,760 ton-haurs resulting in annual eta;meal
savings of 269,675 kWh. Energy saved for space healing and domestic he';water is es5mated io be 36,220 therms.
Cilculaf§ors Stir this worksheet are only for the purpose of Wal'sminary analysis. The energy avid demand charges may
vary depending on the month or time of day. SunChiller system may also be designed for longer or shorter hours of
operation. OP-tailed analysis must be performed for the specftc building and location before final design avid decision.

Key benefits of SunChiller systiom
(Reduces air conditioning related operating costs
The most of electricity to€arge cornmercial customers has power demand and electric energy consumption charge
components. Power demand charges can be even greater than electric energy consumption charges. SunChiiler
system will reduce air conditioning related operating costs by over 90% bf eliminating the compressor load and
thus demand and consumption charges asscciated with it.
!Reduces space heating and domestic hat water related operating costs
During tite winter months when spare heating is needed SunChi€lei system can significantly reduce energy cost
by use of solar energy instead of fossil fuels. The absorption chiller is bypassed in that!mode. SunChiller system
can also save the cost of heating water for domestic use throughout the year.
Hedges against the risk of energy price escalation
Electricity and natural gas prices have risen sharpy in recent years and are expected to rise further in the future.
SunChiller system shaves the compressor load during the peak period when the electricity prices are highest and
most volatile. Once the SunChiller system is paid with annual savings in energy cost, there will be escalating
profits for the years beyond up to the end of the 20 to 25-year economic iifecyde. No forward energy contract
offers hedging with such a high degree of price certainty.
Enables negotiating favorable,Time-Of-'Hse electric rate
If a faeifity only uses electric cooling systems, it cannot benefit from the Tirne--of-Else and real-time electric rates.
Electric utilities charge significantly higher tariffs to large customers for maintaining reserve capacity to meet the
peak demand. The combination of SunChiiler system and electric chillers provides the innovative and optimum
capability to shave electric load and save energy at the same time enabling the negotiation of favorable rate in the
deregulated electric energy market.
Reduces risk of interruption and emergency backup power equipment cost
SunChiller system generates significant portion of the energy used for air conditioning on-size and is less
b ulnerable to electric grid supply disruption. Sun and hot water storage tame play the role of backup powaT for air
conditioning. Each ton of SunChiller system capacity reduces the required emergency generator capacity by
approximately 1.5 kVd, resulting, in diesel generator installed cost savings of COD per tore of installed air
conditioning capacity.
Reduces Life-cycle cast
Even though the equipment cost of SunChiller system is higher than the electric chiller of the same capacity, the
life-cycle cost of SunChiller system is lower because of the over 90% savings in electricity cost over the
equipment useful life of 20 to 25 years. SunChiller system is egUil4ent to Elie purchase of I-IVAC equipment and
water heating boiler plus fixed-price energy paid upfront with no risk of energy price escalation.
Can he paid for by annual savings
With financing offered by SunChiller the annual "out of pocket" cost of SunChiller system will be less than the
electric air conditioning system and water healing boiler combined rrvith the added benefit of constant annual
outlays as opposed to potential escalating outlays for the electric chillerhwater heating boiler combination.
CfppoiituVaity for tax credit and accelerated depreciation
Federal soar investment tax credit of 30% !effective 2006) plus 5-Year accelerated depreciation are available to
business customers. The initial cost of the SunChiller system can be construed as the combination of the
conventional Chiller, water heating bo'oier, and the future energy costs. Thus, SunChiller enables depreciating not
only the cost of the HVAC equipment, but also future energy, both with accelerated schedule.
Friendly to onWronment
SunChiiler system uses environmentally benign water as refrigerant as opposed to ozone o'epfeting agents and
allso contributes to reduction of air pollutants and greenhouse gases. Facilities using SunChiller system face a t
reduced risk of change of regulations.

Sunda solar water heater works on the principle of thermo-siphon;
it is a complete supplied system including Seido heat pipe vacuum
tube collector, water storage tank and support and assembling
kits, hence it needs low investment to build one. When solar
energy isn't enough, an electrical booster is built inside tank in
ll�1i'9 7� some modules. Tanks have been carefully designed to avoid a
u ` mixing of layers of hot water and cold water.
There are four series products to supply; DP-, MDP-, BP-, SP-.
Tank size has 1201iter and 1601iter to supply. According to the
way of connection with water supply net, it divided into two

SEIDO solar collectors have been specially designed for the supply of hot water.
In a typical two circuits system for a private home, a self-contained heating
circuit transports the heat from the collector to the in-house hot-water storage
tank(approx.300L).There the heat is passed on to the in-house hot-water storage
tank by a heat exchanger and the water for domestic use is heated. When the
j;
. heat supplied by the collector is not suffictent to attain the desired temperature,
a conventional heating system takes over automatically and completes the heating
process.
An electronic control unit constantly checks whether the temperature(Ti) at the
collector opening is higher than the temperature(T2) in the in-house hot-water
storagetcink. If this is the case, the control unit starts the heating circuit.

WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT
"PROFIT/OVER CHARGES VERSUS RESERVES"
I would like to reply to Vic Gainer's October 23`d Desert Sun Opinion article,quote,"The
Governor's veto has, indeed,placed our Wastewater Treatment Plant and its$2.6 million
annual profits back into our hands...There could well be substantial refunds due to Palm
Springs rate payers."
This is not a profit, but a reserve that is necessary for the expansion of the waste water
facilities . . . that will be needed in the near future due to the rapid growth within the city .,.
and also for the needed repairs and replacement of the old underground sewer and drainage
lines throughout the city.
Several years ago, in a meeting with Tom Kanarr(the City Finance Director), when asked
about setting up a resen'e for replacement of the City's infrastructure . . . he showed me a
report from the City Insurance Company that stated for
a complete replacement of the city assets (buildings and
infrastructure) it would require over a billion dollars !
. . ,and the sewer and drainage was a large part of this
cost estimate.
Nov,. in reply to Jim Jones, in a Desert Sun Valley Voice (May 9, 2003), quote, "We also
have concerns over the funds for purchasing the plant . . . Desert Water Agency has
millions of dollars in reserves (from over charges in customers water bills) this money
rightly belongs to the customers."
When the state water agencies states that they have some excess water for sale and use by
the (DWA) and the (CVWD) for replenishing the rapid falling Ground aquifer. . , this
money has to be provided within 30 days . . . this is what some of the (DWA) reserves has
to be kept for these purchases. . . also for including repairs and replacements of their
underground water lines along with the installation of new lines for new developments.
Now as to the merits of the sale (and transfer of ownership) of the City's waste water
treatment plant and facilities to the (DWA).
First some background on this plant:
Years ago when the Waste Water Plant was bogged down while under the supervision and
management of the City Planning Department ... I was asked by the then City Engineer
(Phil Abrams) to look at the operation of the plant ... due to my background in helping to
build and operate a sewer and water facilities for a USA overseasjungle Air Base in
Panama during the early 1940's.
Upon my recommendation to have the plant under the engineering Department and then
sent out requests for proposal for a Plant Superintendent,

Andy Fisichelli was the one selected. Under his expertise and management, in several
years, he turned the facilities into one of the most efficient environmental plants in the
country ... one can still see the awards at the plant office.
PRtUATI Zlu_Z_
when Andy retired;bur 1994-95 City Financial Task Force then recommended to the City
Council to look into prioritizing these facilities. After Andy's retirement I asked what he
thought about transferring ownership of the Waste Water Facilities to the (DWA) . . . He
remarked that it would be a good thing . . . "for the water resources and wastewater
facilities should always be together."
Then in 2003 the City Citizens Task Force recommended to the City Council that they
explore the merits of selling and transferring ownership of the plant to the (D.W.A.).
Now. to the financial capability of the two agencies:
As of June 30. 2004 the Annual Financial Report of the City does not show any reserve
for replacements. . but has a combined long tern bonded debt of$196,337,330, and
plus interest $166.610.316 to maturity . . . while the (DWA) has only a small remainder
of a $3,000.000 bond that was used to buyout the original water company. .. and has
created ON cr a $120.000.000 equity water company with a$20,000.000 state-of-the-art
reclamation plant that is tied into the City plant. (DWA) plans to integrate the entire
water systems to better plan for growth while adding efficiencies and economies of
scale to the system, and most important, better protect the aquifer and ground water
wells.
