Arbitrage fee
1
What is this for? Arbitrage is a process that needs to be completed on
tax-exempt debt every five years. The purpose is to determine whether or not the IRS is
owed money from the earnings on the investments.
Item H. So we have been paying MWDOC to have WSO do water audits in the past and this item is a
rollover of those funds? How do we pay MWDOC for Core services?When water loss control
auditing was first required by the state, MWDOC hired WSO to assist in these services to
all water agencies in OC since this was a new concept and very unfamiliar to both
MWDOC and the local water agencies. Each agency entered into an agreement with
MWDOC to pay for the services that WSO was providing.
Now, a few years later, MWDOC has decided to bring many of these services "in-house"
to where each water agency has the option to retain MWDOC for these services. Funding
would be agreed upon as a CHOICE program. This agenda item recommends the City
Council enter into this agreement with MWDOC for these services, where each year the
City gets to choose how much service is provided by MWDOC. These yearly services are
then budgeted into the Water Operations budget. For Fiscal year 19/20, the City is
electing to provide MWDOC with $0 in funding since last year's payment to MWDOC
covered not only the services required of FY 18/19 but are sufficient to cover the services
necessary of FY 19/20.
On a separate note, the City budgets yearly the necessary funding in water operations to
pay for the CORE services that MWDOC provides all agencies. The City's portion is
based upon the City's size and service provided to our residents.
